Creating a FTP user manually on a Windows server requires several steps. It is important you read through this entire document and follow each step.
*Before creating FTP users please make sure your FTP site is created by following the guide below. If you have a site in IIS called FTP, then it is already created.*
Create Local User
The first step is to create the user on your server. All FTP users are local users assigned to your server through users and groups management. Please follow the steps below.
1. Open Server Management by navigating to Start Menu --> Control Panel --> Administrative Tools --> Server Manager.
2. Expand Configuration and then expand Local Users and Groups.
3. Right click on users and click on add new user. Fill in the form and choose user cannot change password and password never expires.
Now that the user has been created we need to add it to IIS so the FTP server can direct it to the proper home folder. Follow the steps below to do so.
Add User to FTP Site in IIS
1. Open IIS and expand sites by clicking the +. Find the site labeled "FTP" and click the + next to it to expand the site as well. Right click on the folder named “LocalUser” and click on add virtual directory. Use the image below for reference.
Note: If you do not see the directory "LocalUser" please contact us. One of our engineers can set this up for you.
For the Add Virtual Directory window, follow the convention below.
- Alias: The user name for the FTP user.
- Physical path: The folder you want to give the user access to.
2. Click ok after typing in the user name and choosing the folder. This will create a virtual directory under the folder LocalUser under the FTP site like the image below. Click once on this folder and then double click on FTP Authorization Rules.
3. Remove the all users rule by clicking on it and then then click remove on the right hand side.
4. Click on Add Allow Rule and choose the bubble next to specified user. Type in the user name you added and then give it the permissions desired.
Now that the user is added to IIS we need to add permissions to the directory it has access to. This is done through NTFS permissions.
1. Click on the virtual directory you created for the user in IIS and on the right hand side click on Edit Permissions...
2. Click on the security tab and then click on Edit.
3. Click on the add button and click cancel if you receive a login prompt.
4. Type in the user name as "Servername\username". IE: exam321\user.
Typing the server name first will avoid getting any popups asking for a user name and password. If you do receive this popup simply cancel. Your server is part of our domain and when you add users it tries to query the active directory server which you do not have access to. Alternatively you can click on Locations and then choose your server as the location. After choosing the location type in the user name or click on advanced and find now. Click ok to add the user to permissions.
5. Now you simply click on the user and choose the permissions you wish to give that user. If the user needs to be able to upload files and create folders, you will need to give that user Modify permissions. If the user only needs read access, then read and List folder contents is all you need.
- Full Control - This is meant for administrators and system users, never use this for a FTP user.
- Modify - Checking this box will automatically give all the correct permissions for read and write access.
- Read & Execute - Read access with ability to execute programs.
- List folder contents - Ability to list out folders.
- Read - Simple read access to files only, remember to check list folder contents as well for read access.
- Write - Ability to upload and create folders.
- Special Permissions - Never used for FTP users, these are custom permissions.
After you choose the permissions and click ok you're done. You can test the FTP user by connecting with a FTP client. Check the related KB articles below.

General Atomics AeroTec Systems (GA-ATS) has won a tender from the Finnish Border Guard (FBG) to upgrade the navigation and communications systems of the Do228 fleet. The German manufacturer of the Do228 will carry out the modernization work at Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany in the coming months and will also perform extensive planned maintenance work.
State-of-the-art navigation and communication systems
To enable the special mission aircraft to meet the modern challenges that border and maritime surveillance face on a daily basis, the Finnish Border Guard wants to improve efficiency and reliability of its Do228 fleet.
The two Do228 will be upgraded with a new navigation system AHRS (Attitude Heading Reference System), which is reliable and capable in the far north regions. A modern, cost-effective new communication system SATCOM will also be installed.
Comprehensive planned maintenance work on the Do228 fleet
During the same period that the modernization is being carried out, the Finnish Border Guard's Do228 fleet is also receiving comprehensive planned maintenance work at the General Atomics AeroTec Systems site in Oberpfaffenhofen. The manufacturer of the Do228 will perform periodic maintenance on the aircraft, including the implementation of service bulletins and other upgrades designed to improve dispatch reliability and further minimize maintenance efforts.
General Atomics AeroTec Systems offers this dependable maintenance service for the Do228 with a quality, that only the OEM can provide. The modern One-Stop-Shop concept of GA-ATS allows the maintenance work to be carried out simultaneously with the upgrade and modernization work. This means that there is only one downtime and the Do228s can be back in service in Finland within a few months.
Do228 successfully in service in Finland since 1995
The Do228 of the newest NATO member state were delivered in 1995 and have been upgraded throughout the years with modern equipment. Currently the aircraft are equipped with thermal cameras, day cameras, UV/IR scanners, weather radars, maritime surveillance radars, SLAR side-angle radars and Automatic Identification Systems (AIS).
The Do228 is entrusted at the Finnish Border Guard with the tasks of border surveillance on land and at sea, maritime search and rescue (SAR) and monitoring of the maritime environment. Since 2019 the Finnish Border Guard has been responsible for the marine pollution response in the open sea and the Do228 are equipped with surveillance equipment to help the crew establish a real-time image of the maritime area and any foreign substances in the sea. Furthermore, the aircraft provide cooperation and support in search and rescue tasks and other executive assistance tasks.
Due to its flexible equipment and modification options, the Do228 is the optimal aircraft for versatile missions. The aircraft also has short takeoff and landing capabilities (STOL). In the coming years, the Next Generation of the aircraft, the Do228 NXT, will enter series production at General Atomics AeroTec Systems in Oberpfaffenhofen.

October 12, 2018 - The Municipal District of Bonnyville and the Town of Bonnyville recognize the concerns of residents, recreational users, agricultural producers and the general public over the health of Moose Lake.
With the help of local groups such as the Moose Lake Watershed Society, Lakeland Agricultural Research Association (LARA) and Lakeland Industry and Community Association (LICA) and the residents and recreational users of the lake, programs, policies, and actions can be implemented to assist with reclaiming the health of Moose Lake.
Moose Lake is naturally high in nutrients. Due to high water and flooding conditions over the last two years, Moose Lake has seen an increase in nutrient loading, an increase in the presence of microcystin (the toxin produced by blue green algae) and number of blue green algae blooms. A slight increase in phosphorus can create these blooms. Having this knowledge is the first step in helping the health of Moose Lake.
While a single solution will not solve all of the lake’s issues, the Town and the M.D. are hoping, with efforts from all concerned parties, significant improvements can be made.
The Town and the M.D. will continue to support local groups like LICA and LARA in their efforts to make the lake healthier. The municipalities will also work on restoration programming, policies and enforcement, around the lake to help improve the water quality. Residents and recreational users can help improve that water quality by becoming engaged and aware of what they can do to help care for the lake.
Lakeside landowners can implement best management practices on their own lots to help limit the amount of run off and nutrients entering the lake. This includes leaving vegetation along the shoreline intact, replanting vegetation, installing rain barrels, and landscaping to reduce erosion, keeping grass heights longer in the fall to help slow water runoff and trap sediment for the spring, removing sandbags previously used to protect shoreline, having septic fields, tanks and pump outs inspected, and becoming aware of environmental reserves around the lake.
M.D. residents living on the lake who are unsure if they have an ER next to their property, or who need information about erosion or shoreline damage, can contact the M.D.’s environmental coordinator, Katlyn Macdonald at 780-826-3171 or at [email protected].
Agricultural producers can contact Kellie Nichiporik, Environmental Program Manager at LARA to find out more about environmental farm plans, funding for best management practices and more. Email Nichiporik at [email protected].
The M.D. and the Town encourages residents to become involved. The Moose Lake Watershed Society will host a meeting October 22 from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Bonnyville and District Centennial Centre. There, residents will be able to find out more, voice their concerns, and be a part of the decision making, program implementation and development of projects. For more information and to keep up to date with the society, visit facebook.com/MooseLakeWatershed.

The Impact of Sublethal Concentrations of Treated Leachate on Nile tilápia (Oreochromis niloticus)
- Gallão, Michel, Gnocchi, Karla G., Carvalho, Luciano R., Silva, Bruno F., Barbosa, Andressa N., Chippari-Gomes, Adriana R.
- Bulletin of environmental contamination and toxicology 2019 v.102 no.4 pp. 519-524
- DNA damage, Oreochromis niloticus, acute toxicity, alanine transaminase, aquatic environment, aspartate transaminase, biomarkers, comet assay, fish, landfill leachates, leukocytes, mutagens
- The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of sublethal concentrations of treated landfill leachate on Oreochromis niloticus individuals after exposure for 96 h, by assessing biochemical, genotoxic and immunologic biomarkers. Among biochemical biomarkers (activities of ALT, AST and GST enzymes), the treated landfill leachate did not cause significant alterations on O. niloticus and did not significantly affect leukocytes used as an immunologic biomarker. On the other hand, treated leachate induced genotoxic damages, since an increase in erythrocytic micronuclei and in DNA damage (comet assay) were observed in fish exposed to all treatment (2, 4 and 6 mL L⁻¹). Acute toxicity of treated leachate in O. niloticus caused only genotoxic changes in blood cells, showing that micronuclei and comet assay, together, are effective biomarkers in determining the acute toxicity of treated leachate in aquatic environments. This work also shows that leachate, although treated, caused some damages to O. niloticus, which indicates the employed treatment was not efficient in eliminating all genotoxic substances from the leachate.

Blockchain technology has revolutionized various industries, but one sector that has greatly benefited from its introduction is the gaming industry. In recent years, blockchain has emerged as a game changer in the gaming world, offering new opportunities for developers, players, and even investors. In this article, we explore how blockchain technology is transforming the gaming industry and the possibilities it holds for the future.
Before delving into the impact of blockchain in gaming, it’s important to understand the basics of this groundbreaking technology. Blockchain is a distributed digital ledger that records transactions across multiple computers. It is secure, transparent, and immutable, making it an ideal solution for a variety of industries, including gaming.
1. Increased security: One of the big benefits of using blockchain in gaming is the increased security it provides. Traditional gaming platforms are vulnerable to hacking, cheating, and fraud, which can significantly impact your gaming experience. The decentralized nature of blockchain ensures transactions are secure and transparent, reduces the risk of fraud, and ensures fair gameplay.
2. Ownership and Control: Blockchain allows players to truly own in-game assets using non-fungible tokens (NFTs). NFTs are unique digital assets that can represent in-game items, characters, or even entire game worlds. By using blockchain, players have full control over their assets and can trade and sell them without intermediaries.
3. Interoperability: Blockchain technology enables interoperability between different games and platforms. Previously, players were restricted to using in-game assets within specific games. Blockchain allows these assets to be utilized across multiple games, creating a more seamless and connected gaming experience.
4. Transparent Economy: Blockchain brings transparency to the gaming economy by providing a public ledger of all transactions. This transparency prevents game developers and publishers from manipulating in-game economies, creating a fairer and more trustworthy gaming environment.
The potential for blockchain in gaming is vast, and we’ve only scratched the surface of what it can accomplish. As technology continues to evolve, we can expect:
1. Decentralized gaming platforms: Blockchain enables the creation of decentralized gaming platforms, eliminating the need for centralized authority. This empowers developers and players, giving them more control and freedom in the gaming ecosystem.
2. Play-to-Earn Model: Blockchain-based games introduce a play-to-earn model, where players can earn real-world value through in-game activities. This opens up new possibilities for gamers to monetize their skills and time, creating a more sustainable gaming industry.
3. Virtual Reality Integration: The combination of blockchain and virtual reality (VR) technology will revolutionize the gaming experience. Blockchain can secure ownership and scarcity of virtual assets, while VR provides an immersive environment for players to interact with these assets.
A: Blockchain increases the security of games by providing a decentralized and transparent ledger of all transactions. This ensures that transactions cannot be modified or manipulated, reducing the risk of hacking, fraud, and fraud.
A: Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are unique digital assets that can represent in-game items, characters, or even entire game worlds. They utilize blockchain technology to ensure ownership and control of these assets.
A: Blockchain-based games introduce a play-to-earn model where players can earn real-world value through in-game activities. This includes earning cryptocurrencies and selling in-game assets for real money.
A: Yes, the combination of blockchain and VR technology has the potential to revolutionize the gaming experience. Blockchain secures the ownership and scarcity of virtual assets, and VR provides an immersive environment for players to interact with these assets.
Blockchain technology is transforming the gaming industry in unprecedented ways. From increased security and ownership to a more transparent economy, the benefits of blockchain in gaming are vast. As technology continues to advance, we can expect even more exciting developments that will reshape the gaming landscape for players, developers, and investors alike.

Introduction to the Roberts Minstrel!
A unique distinction you will find with Roberts Stringworks is that many of the costly wood upgrades guitar buyers have become accustomed to, you won't find when you design and place your order for a fine Roberts Stringed Instrument. My early tenure in logging, as a Licensed Timber Scaler, and as a Planerman and Millworker before being trained as a Luthier, places me in a unique position to be able to grade and judge woods based on a structural and tonal basis rather than just taking the word of the Wood Broker who in most cases is not a Luthier and isn't in a position to grade tonewoods based on any qualities other than cosmetics. This grading of tonewoods based only on cosmetic properties has become a real concern as woods quickly become more and more scarce. Too much tonally superior wood has been burned and a multitude of high end guitars have been built with perfectly spaced, tight grained wood with way too much runout or wood severely lacking in stiffness in one dimension or the other. ROberts Stringworks pricing structure Includes the use of tonally superior luthier select grade Carpathian and Adirondack Red Spruces. Luthier's select wood is wood chosen with tonal superiority and appropriate cosmetics as it's first concern. Woods with defect that will structurally, tonally or cosmetically negatively impact a guitar will never be used. Nor will so-called "Master Grade" wood which doesn't meet my strict tonal and structural standards. The whole concept of Luthiers buying "Master" grade wood, graded by someone who has never built a guitar and therefore cannot be considered a Master in any stretch of the imagination is just wrong yet it's what happens all too often. If you want wood with a special history, such as half a century old Sitka Spruce from an old Logging bridge on Vancouver Island or "to die for" stiff, Bearclaw German I've had for 25 years, or 100 year old sinker Larch and Cedar, salvaged from Flathead Lake in Northwestern Montana, well I've got that and I've selected it as carefully as any of the other woods I use but it's additional cost may result in a reasonable upcharge. I also have "MAster Select" woods available if you prefer. To understand Roberts Stringworks grading and upgrade policies please read the Top Woods section on the Option page. It will explain the difference between Luthier's Select and Master Select grade woods.
The prototype Minstrel, was built with a tonally superior Luthier's select Adirondack Red Spruce top with some slight red stain around the edges where the burst would be. It was built with Adirondack bracing as well... throughout the guitar, top bracing AND back bracing. It is built out of very high grade mahogany back, sides, and top. The finish on the neck, back and sides is rich and beautiful. The top has a gorgeous sunburst and in this context, the luthier's select grade red spruce actually made it MORE beautiful and interesting. It was built entirely with high clarity luthier grade hot hide glue. It is built in the spirit of the best of the 30's Gibson L-00 and 40s LG models. It's top has been hand voiced, and tuned in the masterly fashion only possible after over a quarter century of experience.
The basic Minstrel includes a choice of mahogany or unflamed eastern maple back and sides, Adirondack or Carpathian spruce top, Adirondack bracing, and old world hot hide glue construction. The finish starts with an oxidation process and then is sealed with old-world shellac to enhance the Chatoyance, then finished with nitrocellulose lacquer. The Minstrel is a early 40s vintage Gibson LG inspired guitar with a neck reaching even further back to its inspiration in the mid 30s L-00. The Minstrel comes standard with a sunburst top and light tobacco sprayed over a cherry tinted understain which creates a magnificent reddish translucent underglow tobacco finish, which looks darker in low light situations but with a rich light glow in the light. Options also include natural top.
After studying Sculpture in College and woodworking most of my life, I began working professionally in the stringed instrument industry over 25 years ago, first at Flatiron Banjo and Mandolin Company, later at Gibson Guitars Montana Division where I became and served as rear plant production manager, and finally for Santa Cruz Guitar Company for almost 18 years. I work with high quality hand tools extensively from carving necks with the hand stitched French rasps made by the same artisans who made rasps for Rodin and the french scultors, to the Japanese hand planes, chisels and hand wrapped horsehair glue brushes, shellac brushes, and heavy copper hide glue pot. These details help me to infuse my work with passion and soul and allow me to connect to the traditions of the past that have created the incredible Stringed instruments that have set the bar so high for us today! Of course I use hand tools where hand tools are superior but utilize technology where it is appropriate and doesn't derail the process.
The Minstrel-M features a modern profile modified V neck at .835" thick at the nut, 1 3/4" nut width, and 2 3/16" wide at the 14th fret and bridge spacing. The thickness of the modern neck at the 8th fret is .920". The Minstrel-M has Ebony fingerboard and bridge.
The Minstrel-V will have bridge and fingerboard made of Brazilian Rosewood. It will have the same 1 3/4 width at the nut and will have a .890 neck thickness at the 1st fret and .920 at the 8th fret. The 14th fret and Bridge string spacing will be wider, at 2 5/16. This neck will be designated by Minstrel-V for Vintage. Both will have a modified V neck.
Custom features are available on the Minstrel line as well such as premium upgrades to Brazilian Rosewood, Flamed Eastern Red Maple, Flamed or Quilted Mahogany, etc. If there is something you would like to have just ask!

Coming off a bye week, Illinois State football returns home on Saturday for homecoming to continue its tough stretch of ranked foes.
After losing to No. 16 and No. 7 Southern Illinois and Missouri State, the 2-3 Redbirds look ahead to a tough matchup with undefeated North Dakota State. Here are five things to know before the Bison travel to Normal:
In the 15 years since this rivalry began the Bison have dominated ISU and have been the winners of the last 10 games. Thanks to that lengthy winning streak, NDSU holds a 12-2 record over ISU.
The last two games were defensive showdowns for the Missouri Valley Football Conference rivals. During the 2019 playoffs, the Redbirds had a possession with a chance to take the lead while time was running out.
A big stop by the NDSU defense secured the win 9-3 advancing the Bison to the Football Conference Subdivision semi-finals.
When these teams met during the 2020-21 spring season, it was once again a battle of defenses. After getting shut out 14-0 through the first half, ISU came out of the locker room strong.
ISU scored twice in the third quarter to make the game 14-13 after a missed field goal. The defenses continued to battle until the Bison found the end zone with a little over three minutes left to secure the win 21-13.
So far this year, the Redbirds have shown flashes of excellence in the first halves of games but have struggled out of the locker room.
ISU has scarcely scored in the second half since week three against Eastern Illinois. Over the last three weeks, the Redbirds averaged 15.6 points per game in the first half, while averaging just seven second-half points over that span.
Both sides of the ball dominance
Once again, the Bison head to Normal as a top team in the Football Championship Subdivision and MVFC. With a 5-0 record, NDSU is the last undefeated team in the Valley. This dominance has been due to the Bison’s strong play on both sides of the ball.
Currently the Bison rank No. 1 in total defense and scoring defense. While the Bison are known for defensive dominance, they are No. 3 in scoring offense averaging 35.4 points per game.
Who to watch
Following up a career-high 318 passing yards, three-touchdown performance against MSU, another strong game from freshman quarterback Jackson Waring will be vital against the No. 3 ranked team in the country.
Since stepping in for the injured Bryce Jefferson, Waring is averaging 173 passing yards a game with three passing touchdowns on the year. Waring has also rushed for two scores.
How to follow
Kick-off is scheduled for 2 p.m. on Saturday in Normal. ISU is celebrating the 100-year anniversary of homecoming with a parade that will begin at 10 a.m.
Follow along on Twitter @Vidette_Sports as Sports Editor Jake Sermersheim will have coverage. You can watch the game on Marquee Sports Network. Dick Luedke will have the play-by-play for WJBC 1230 AM.

Normally our HOC Film Friday’s are every other Friday. However, in the spirit of the 88th Academy Awards this Sunday and because I saw an incredible thriller entitled, “The Secret In Their Eyes”, I just had to share this trailer with you all. With a captivating and compelling performance by Julia Roberts, who in fact, is one of my favorite actors, this movie is a must see. Check out the trailer to see what happens when a mother loses and avenges her only daughter from being killed from a disturbed killer.

Climate-driven financial policies could inadvertently end up undermining financial inclusion efforts. Authorities and funders must understand the pathways through which risks could occur and the opportunities for supporting green finance effectively.
The second blog in our series with Decodis and MSC explores our research finding that many poor households are just muddling through climate events rather than strategically adapting to long-term climate change in ways that enhance their resilience.
To ensure those living in poverty benefit from emerging models in insurance, we need to focus beyond traditional risk transfer and look at broader risk management. This blog outlines three priorities for driving systems change in inclusive insurance.

I am working on designing a flexible tube that will be held together by joints so they can rotate in two degrees of freedom (up/down and (left/right). The assembly uses the same part. When three of the same parts are mated together, I am able to move the parts freely by dragging one of the parts that are not fixed.
However, when the fourth part is inserted, I cannot move the model assembly.
I am using SolidWorks 2017 Standard.

By CHEA WATERS EVANS
A powerline project set to bring energy to New England from Canada through a cable buried under Lake Champlain has caught the eye of some lakeshore Vermont communities – including Charlotte – who see it as a possible new source of tax revenue.
The Clean Power Link Project is a high voltage direct transmission current line that would run under Lake Champlain from Canada to a converter station in southern Vermont, where it would supply power to Massachusetts and other New England areas. The state of Massachusetts requested bids from companies to create sources of renewable energy in order to comply with the state’s carbon reduction laws.
Transmission Developers Inc., the energy company spearheading the project, recently completed its permitting and approval process with state and federal agencies, but is facing a financial challenge from seven towns that want to collect property taxes on the project. Though the cables will be buried underneath the lake, Charlotte, along with six other towns, is claiming ownership over that land and therefore the right to collect taxes.
The project has support from Gov. Phil Scott’s administration and from Gov. Peter Shumlin beforehand. The power company has pledged to pay Vermont $1.5 million annually for 40 years to help fund cleanup efforts for Lake Champlain. The state is facing federal mandates regarding Lake Champlain, and how to pay for environmental remediation is a leading topic of debate in Montpelier now.
After a research and permitting process that began in 2013, TDI New England received final approval for the project in 2017.
The 154-mile-long transmission line consists of two cables, each five inches in diameter, extending from the U.S.-Canadian border entering Vermont at Alburgh. First underground, then underneath Lake Champlain for 98 miles, it extends on land to a transmission station in Ludlow.
Now seven towns are claiming ownership of the land underneath the lakebed where the cables will be buried: Charlotte, Colchester, Isle La Mott, Panton, Shoreham, Bridport and Orwell. Whether or not this is a valid claim is not certain.
“Right now the Vermont statute isn’t clear about this,” said Charlotte selectboard Chair Lane Morrison.
Josh Bagnato, vice president of project development at TDI, disagrees. In an email to The Citizen he said: “Based on Vermont state law and the Vermont Tax Department, TDI does not believe we are responsible for paying property taxes for the portion of the Project that is in Lake Champlain.”
He provided a letter from Will Baker, assistant attorney general at the Vermont Department of Taxes, that states: “Under federal and state law, the State of Vermont owns the lakebed subject to the public trust. Vermont municipalities have only those powers specifically granted by the State and there is no statute granting authority to tax within the ‘navigable waters’ of the State. Absent such clear delegation by the State, municipalities have no general authority to regulate or tax public trust waters and submerged land.”
Morrison said the municipalities are working with “a Burlington law firm,” that he wouldn’t name, to challenge this decision. He said they are also hopeful that the issue can be handled legislatively. The Senate bill S. 274 would allow towns to collect utility taxes on projects like the Clean Power Link. Introduced by Sen. Chris Bray, D-Addison, it is in the Senate Finance Committee.
James Ehlers is executive director of the nonprofit environmental organization Lake Champlain International and also a declared Democratic candidate for Vermont governor this year. He supports the municipalities’ efforts to profit from the project.
“It’s not for Vermont ratepayers. It’s for corporations and ratepayers in other states who don’t want these projects in their own communities,” he said. “It’s a luxury, really, to be able to live a comfortable modern lifestyle and not have your community impacted by your own energy production.”
Bagnato pointed out that TDI already is making a significant financial contribution of what should amount to $263 million to Vermont to fund lake cleanup efforts. “Furthermore, the project is estimated to being approximately $1.9 billion in economic benefits to Vermont over its expected 40-year operating life,” he said. This amount includes state property, sales, and income taxes; VTrans right-of-way fees; and other projected revenues from employment opportunities and energy savings. In addition, he said, towns will benefit from the much-needed lake cleanup, an assertion backed up by the Certificate of Public Good issued by the Vermont Public Utility Commission.
So far, the efforts to tax the project haven’t gained traction with many shoreline communities. Shelburne Town Manager Joe Colangelo said the selectboard there discussed it and opted not to join the effort.
The question of who owns the lake has been decided in part already — the land and water operate as a public trust. The transmission lines that would be buried underneath the lake, then, would be on public land, in a sense, and therefore not subject to property taxes.
Despite the planning and permitting for the project, the state of Massachusetts has not yet committed to buying power from TDI. Bagnato anticipates a decision will be made there this month.

Immiscible water alternating gas (IWAG) injection has effectively managed produced gas at the Kuparuk River Field: increasing field oil rate and recovery. Although IWAG economics are very favorable, this pilot study was undertaken to ascertain whether separate water and gas injection lines to the drill sites and on-pad distribution systems can be eliminated by simultaneously injecting water and gas in waterflood lines.
A significant problem in simultaneous water and gas injection is the phase separation which occurs at branches in the injection pipe network. The higher density phase, because of its greater momentum, will tend to flow in the straight or least deviated pipe branch, while the lower density phase will tend to flow into the most deviated branch of pipe. Studies conducted at ARCO’s Exploration and Production Technology Research Center in Plano, Texas; indicated that static mixers positioned at the pipe branches could achieve equal distribution of the phases to both runs of the pipe branch.
In the pilot study gas was injected into an 8″ waterflood line which supplied two drill sites. A static mixer was placed at the junction for the two drill sites. Static mixers were also placed in the 4″ injection manifold of one of the drill sites, the other drill site had no mixers in the injection manifold. Gas was distributed to both drill sites. At the drill site with static mixers in the injection manifold, gas was distributed to the wells on the injection manifold: while at the drill site without static mixers, phase separation occurred and only one well on the injection manifold received gas.

Last week, four members of the Shark Research and Conservation Program (SRCP) travelled to Nassau, New Providence to participate in a global effort to assess the abundance and diversity of apex predators on coral reefs, termed The Global Finprint Project (GFP). The GFP is a Paul G. Allen initiative, facilitating global cooperation between various scientific institutions. The main goal is to collect abundance and diversity data on reef-associated elasmobranchs in order to provide a valuable baseline pertaining to their current population trends. The call to assess the health of these populations is critical, as many are either listed by the IUCN as data deficient, or are showing rapid declines. The GFP is the largest study of its kind ever undertaken, and the SRCP is responsible for surveying a multitude of sites across the greater Caribbean.
Abundance and diversity data is collected through a scientifically accepted, non-invasive methodology, Baited Remote Underwater Video (BRUVs). BRUV’s consist of a camera, weighted frame, and bait arm, which provides a concentrated plume, designed to attract predators. BRUVS are deployed for 90-minute ‘soak’ periods in order to allow enough time for the plume to travel and disperse within the water column. Over seven days the team collected over 100 hours of video from two regions (south west, and north east) off Nassau, New Providence, from depths ranging from 2m to 30m.
Preliminary assessment of the video data suggest a diverse array of sharks and other predators associated with reefs around Nassau. The team identified hammerhead, Caribbean reef, blacknose, nurse, and tiger sharks, as well as southern stingrays, amberjack, turtles and a Spanish mackerel. Failing to robustly assess the diversity and the relative abundance of these animals has large implications for their effective management, and data collected from Nassau provides an intrinsic step to facilitating the success of this global conservation effort. Finally, our team would like to extend large thanks to Stuart Cove’s for their generous hospitality during this trip.

Aside from maintaining the functionality of your vehicle, it is important you also take care of the body as well. Whether you are restoring back an older automobile, or simply want to keep your vehicle longer, rust can prove to be an unsolicited and detrimental problem. Keeping rust away from a vehicle is particularly important for those of us residing in heavy ice and snow areas. Salt utilized in cleaning off the ice and snow can have damaging effects on the paint, resulting in the formation of rust.
If you spot traces of rust on your car, it is important you first establish whether it is a problem you can solve yourself or one that needs professional help. This decision is dependent on the extent of the damage and the type of results you anticipate to ultimately achieve with it. If the rust is minimal, you need not consult a professional. By following these simple rules, Automotive Super Center know that you can successfully restore your vehicle to its former state.
#1 Remove the Rust
The initial and most obvious step you should take is to get rid of the rust of course! Use standard 100-grit sandpaper on a sanding disc. Move slowly so as to avoid damaging the metal underneath. Nonetheless, sand a little deeper than the particular rust region to create a smooth rust free area.
#2 Sand the Rust Area
Once you completely remove the rust, upgrade to standard 150-grit sandpaper. Rather than employing the sanding disc, use your hand. Once you are done, use a simple tack cloth to ascertain that the metal is clean.
#3 Prepare then Primer
Use newspapers and masking tape to cover the area around the sanded part. You can use a self-etching primer. Apply multiple coats and ensure that you wait approximately 10 minutes between every light application of the primer. After you have applied the fourth primer coat, allow it to dry 24 hours before proceeding with the paint.
#4 Paint the Vehicle
Using the wrong paint can be catastrophic to your vehicle. As such, be sure to consult with an accredited auto body paint shop to help you match the paint accordingly. With the right paint, proceed to apply multiple coats (multiple light coats offer your car a better look than a single thick one). After your final coat (maybe the sixth), allow the paint to dry about 12 hours prior to removing the newspaper and masking tape cover.
Washing the vehicle is the final tip. However, wait 48 hours before doing it. You can use a mild soap while at it, particularly after the initial wash. Apply a light wax coat all over the car and although this process may not necessarily come off as professional, it will nonetheless help against the spread of rust and is an easy and quick fix. Where the frame is damaged by rust, you need to consult a professional.

Before Kathy Wakile was a Real Housewife of New Jersey, she was a mother. And a decade ago, during a family vacation in Florida, Wakile’s 10-year-old daughter, Victoria, collapsed on the beach.
At the ER in Florida, Victoria was diagnosed with a brain tumor. The Wakile family returned to New York, and the tumor was removed by Dr. Neil Feldstein, Director of the Pediatric Neurosurgery Center at Columbia University Medical Center/New York Presbyterian Hospital.
The surgery has been on the Wakile family’s minds recently, and not only because they just passed its ten-year anniversary. It’s because earlier this year, 20-year-old Victoria found herself once again a patient of Dr. Feldstein.
As Kathy Wakile relates in a recent interview with OK! Magazine, Victoria had been feeling “off.” An MRI revealed that she had a benign brain tumor called an astrocytoma. Dr. Feldstein removed the tumor, and the energetic Victoria was soon up and on her way again, spending time with friends and returning to her studies.
In the OK! interview, Kathy Wakile and her husband Richie express their gratitude for the excellent care their daughter received from Dr. Feldstein at age 10 and again at age 20. “[T]o me he’s King Feldstein,” Richie says in the article. “He saved her.” The Wakiles also had high praise for Columbia’s nursing team. A decade ago, the nurses cared attentively for 10-year-old Victoria, spending extra time “talking to her and making her feel that everything [was] going to be okay,” says Kathy Wakile. This excellent care really inspired the 10-year-old girl: Victoria is now in nursing school.
Her second experience as a patient in the Pediatric Neurosurgery Center left Victoria even more certain that nursing school was the right choice for her. Her mother recalls in OK!, “Every nurse that came in, [Victoria] said, ‘This is really my calling. This is what I want to be doing,’”
This is not the first time we have blogged about Dr. Feldstein and the Real Housewives of New Jersey. See our previous post, NY Brain Tumor Walk And Dr. Neil Feldstein’s NJ Housewives Connection.

Online Gambling is an addictive activity. It can lead to a variety of problems, including depression, addiction and social isolation. Luckily, there are several resources available to help you overcome your addiction and stop online gambling. One such resource is GamCare. This organization offers a free online assessment that asks questions to help you identify your gambling habits. It also provides a report of possible next steps.
While this resource is useful, it must be noted that it is not the best way to determine whether online gambling will lead to gambling problems. A variety of variables can influence the development of gambling problems, and a single index is not sufficient to predict future gambling problems. Moreover, Internet gambling is increasingly popular among the younger generation.
Regulators need to be vigilant in ensuring that online casinos are safe and fair. While there are still some rogue operators operating, the industry has matured. The laws on internet gambling have been tightened to prevent unregulated online gambling. However, rogue operators will still find a way to operate. As a result, regulators must be vigilant and strict in ensuring the safety of online gaming.
Unlike online sports betting sites, online casinos can offer you a variety of games. You can access a variety of games through web browsers or by downloading a software client. Some websites offer all types of gambling, while others specialize in one type.

Last Updated on August 6, 2019, by eNotes Editorial. Word Count: 1159
Written in an epistolary form, this short story begins as a letter from Nathanael to Lothar. Nathanael is in a state of upset because a peddler has come to visit him. He explains that in order for his distress to make sense, he must tell Lothar the story of his life.
Nathanael explains that, as a child, he and his siblings rarely saw their father, except in the evenings, when he would give them picture books. At nine or so, his mother would send the children to bed, saying that "the Sandman" had come—and indeed they would hear a heavy tread on the stairs which they assumed to be the Sandman. Frightened, Nathanael asked his mother about the Sandman, but she assured him he was not real—she just meant it was time for sleep. His nurse, however, told a different story. She said that when children wouldn't sleep, the Sandman would come and throw sand in their eyes and then take them home for his children to eat.
At this point, of course, the "incubus" of the Sandman came to terrify Nathanael at night, although he knew it couldn't really all be true. He drew an association between the Sandman and his father's room, the door of which could be heard opening at night. Then, when he was ten, his mother moved him from the nursery into a room near his father's.
Desperate to see the Sandman, Nathanael concealed himself one night in his father's room and waited for the footsteps. Peering out, he saw that the Sandman was not an ogre at all, but an old lawyer friend of the family, Coppelius. Nathanael explained, however, that the children and their mother alike all hated Coppelius, who was ugly and spiteful; however, their father seemed to idolize him. Seeing his father sitting with Coppelius, Nathanael noticed his father start to become ugly by association.
Coppelius caught Nathanael in his hiding place, and then (the narrative suggests this is really happening) threw him on the fire and took out some fiery grains, intending to throw them in the boy's eyes. The boy's father intervened, but Coppelius still began to twist the boy's limbs.
At this point, blackness overtook Nathanael; he awoke in his own room. Nathanael explains to Lothar that probably what happened was that Coppelius found him, "roughly handled" him, and subsequently fell ill; the details were in his imagination. Still, he was terrified. Coppelius then left town.
A year later, Coppelius returned. Nathanael's father promised this would be his last visit; but then the servant maid found Nathanael's father dead, his features burned. Coppelius then disappeared, fleeing the authorities.
Nathanael now reveals that the peddler who has appeared is Coppelius—and he, Nathanael, is resolved to avenge his father's death.
The next letter is from Clara, Lothar's brother, to Nathanael. She tells him that he inadvertently addressed his last letter to her, and she has read it. She tries to assure Nathanael that he is wrong—the peddler is Gieseppe Coppola, not Coppelius, and the horrors Nathanael relates were only in his child's mind. She tells him it is probable that his father's death was caused by misfortune and begs him not to let himself be consumed by the idea that there is some dark power in the universe.
Nathanael writes back to Lothar to tell him what Clara has said, but he stresses that the peddler is not Coppola. He also tells the story of a beautiful young woman, Olimpia, he has seen, who is kept imprisoned by her father, Spalanzani. He hopes to return to Lothar and Clara soon.
At this point, the narrative changes. A third person introduces himself as a "friend" of Lothar's and says he has been given these letters as a basis from which to tell the story of what really happened to Nathanael. He explains that Clara and Lothar were adopted by Nathanael's mother but that Clara was the object of Nathanael's affections, being very...

After two years in the making, I’m happy to announce that the finish line is in sight! I can barely contain my excitement knowing that the publishing date will be announced shortly.
After months of writing, editing and more writing, I truly cannot wait to share these stories with you. They’re from my heart, from my life. They’re moments of pain and moments of hope.
In creating this book I hoped to give proof to others that, even the weakest of us can walk through the toughest of times, with help from others and with love.
Very Much Love.

Loop Vignette is an eco-friendly and lightweight 2-seater concept electric car designed for the next generation riders aiming to customize the mobility ideas with more closely associated lifestyle products, technological gadgetry and the Internet. The outcome is therefore a brand new, sophisticated, fun, desirable and most significantly affordable experience which the target customer can relate to.
The design comprises both economic and technical efficiency. The chassis is covered in an unpainted swappable plastic skin, which eliminates the painting stage. The placement of the rear wheels within the rear quarter panel offer improved aerodynamics. The rear and front façade of the car contains thin-film OLEDs under the colored polycarbonate surfaces, through which users can personalize parameters like day-running lights or graphically expressing themselves by adding custom decals. This feature will also eliminate the need of placing individual lights for turn indicators or brakes.
The dashboard has been kept minimal for individual movable components; rather it contains a huge touch screen where most of the interactions between the car and the rider will take place. While driving, users can keep their other works going on through the internet connectivity and share their driving experience through social networking websites.

Air Purifiers To Improve Indoor Air Quality
Air purification Reinvented
Indoor air can be up to five times dirtier than outdoor air, and the World Health Organization believes 9 out of 10 people around the world breathe polluted air. That’s why we are committed to expanding the benefits of PECO technology beyond the home: to hospitals, schools, businesses, and even public transportation. Molekule was founded out of a critical need to address the adverse impacts of polluted air, a void in the market for purification, and with the goal of using the power of science to destroy indoor air pollution.
Proven by science.
Developed over 25 years by research scientists, PECO is an innovative technology that uses free radicals—the same radicals used to destroy cancer cells—to break down pollutants at a molecular level, including viruses, bacteria, mold, allergens, and chemicals. By using nanotechnology, PECO can destroy pollutants 1000 times smaller than the standard filters must meet to qualify as HEPA.
Indoor Air Quality
Indoor air quality is the air quality in and around buildings and homes and how it relates to health concerns. Poor indoor air quality has been linked to health issues such as irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. These symptoms can appear shortly after exposure or manifest over time after repeated exposure to pollutants. Long-term effects include respiratory diseases, heart disease, and cancer. Indoor air quality is often worse than outdoor air quality, which is why it is so important to purify the air in our homes and workspaces.
Air Purifiers for Asthma and Allergies
Poor indoor air quality can aggravate asthma and allergy symptoms. Air purifiers can filter the indoor air and destroy harmful pollutants. While there are many air purifier options available, the best air purifier for asthma and allergy sufferers is one that removes and destroys not only large particles but also smaller particles at the molecular level.
How Air Purifiers Destroy Mold Spores
Indoor mold can have an impact on your health. While everyone reacts to mold exposure differently, repeated exposure can cause a mold allergy and symptoms such as respiratory congestion and related issues. Molekule air purifiers destroy mold spores in the air with PECO technology as opposed to HEPA filters which remove the spores by collecting them on a filter for later disposal.
How Air Purifiers Help Reduce the Risk of Viruses
We want our homes to be safe, especially from harmful germs and viruses that can make us sick. Molekule air purifiers destroy harmful germs and viruses, including the coronavirus, by physically destroying pollutants that are halted by the filter through the use of a proprietary nanocatalyst. This novel approach cleans the air in a more complete way than traditional methods, using chemistry to convert chemicals, mold, viruses, bacteria, and allergens into harmless gases like carbon dioxide and water.
What is a PECO air filter?
Photo ElectroChemical Oxidation (PECO) technology was developed over 20 years, innovating air purification by destroying organic pollutants at the chemical level. After it has been activated by light inside the Molekule air purifier, the surface of the catalyst can break down organic pollutants such as VOCs, viruses, bacteria, mold spores and allergens into harmless gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor. Traditional air filtration captures pollutants by filtering contaminated air through tiny fibers in hopes that only breathable air finds its way out the other side. Research has shown that this method is incomplete and additional methods such as source control may be required. Instead of trying to catch the pollutants in a jungle of small spaces, the fibers of PECO-filters are coated with a catalyst that performs a powerful chemical reaction that destroys organic pollutants at the smallest possible scale.

The process to draft the required legislation will now begin
Limerick's first directly elected mayor could take office later this year after the Government approved plans to draft the necessary legislation.
The Minister of State for Local Government and Planning Peter Burke has welcomed the decision, earlier today, to begin drafting legislation to provide for a the new role which will have executive functions.
A report from the Implementation Advisory Group was submitted to Government a number of months ago and today the next stage of the process was approved.
“I am pleased that government has given its approval to begin drafting the legislation necessary to establish the office of directly elected mayor in Limerick and to hold a mayoral election in Limerick later this year, if the public health situation allows”, said Minister Burke who has responsibility for the process.
“This important decision brings us another step closer to the people of Limerick being able to elect their own mayor”, he added.
At its meeting this Tuesday the Government signed off on the General Scheme of a Bill which will provide for the establishment of the office of mayor, mayoral functions, and the governance structures underpinning that office.
It sets out an electoral code to hold mayoral elections in Limerick and provides for the holding of plebiscites on the issue in other local authority areas in 2024, if desired.
“I welcome the fact that Government also approved my proposals to include a number of specific new functions and responsibilities in the legislation, including provisions requiring the mayor to lead a local board to advance the implementation of Project Ireland 2040 in the Limerick city region and convene a rural board to examine all aspects of rural life in Limerick, as well as permitting the mayor to convene stakeholders on matters affecting Limerick. Provisions setting out a detailed mechanism for the removal of the mayor are also included,” said Minister Burke.
"While the drafting of the legislation progresses in the coming months, I will forward the General Scheme of the Bill to the Oireachtas so that pre-legislative scrutiny can begin at the earliest opportunity. I look forward to engagement with the Joint Oireachtas Committee for Housing, Local Government and Heritage on this proposed legislation in the coming weeks,” he added.
While the holding of any election is subject to public health guidelines at the time, it is hoped a vote can take place in the last quarter of 2021 with the successful candidate remaining in office until the Local Elections of 2029.

yeah the amount of craftsmanship and at the same time discipline in not overdoing anything proves to be two great outputs, that swoosh on the high in debatable. imo for the sake that the green is obviously pushing it it has that confidence factor on it, flys with me
THANKS ALL!!! Appreciate the love as well as the constructive criticism.
Thinking about it now a red swoosh with grn outlining would totally work.
But once I put the grn down I preferred it.
Did these awhile back. Done quite a bit of messing with paints, materials, and dyes. Trial and error is my learning method.
Have a bunch more to upload!!!
This Dude took it back to 1988 with these. I don't know if any of you are old enough to remember, but GUCCI and Louie Print was the shit back in the day. I would love to see someone do a MCM custom SB that shit would be Dope as well. I'm not a big fan of customs, but these are fresh I will admit...
Nike doesnt do shit like this cuz they would get sued out the ass.. Even this guy could get sued its a copyrighted print, but it would never happen cuz a huge corporation isnt going to go after an individual with no money.. but if Nike did it it would be a different story, as evidenced by Heinys, Freddys etc.

portrait of a painter
Like the photo, I might have cropped it a bit different. He's right in the middle, which goes against the rule of thirds. I usually like to have more space in front of a subject, so he's looking left, I'd put more space on the left side.
I wonder what he was painting, what we can see on the canvas doesn't look like it matches his surroundings.
Thanks for sharing.

Six Rivers National Forest Releases ‘1st 48 Project’ Draft
This is a press release from the U.S. Forest Service:
MAD RIVER, Calif. – Six Rivers National Forest District Ranger Dan Dill announced [Thursday] the release of the Mad River Ranger District’s 1st 48 Roadside Fuelbreak Collaborative Project Draft Environmental Assessment (1st 48 Project). The draft environmental assessment was completed in collaboration with the Trinity County Collaborative Group (TCCG).
In 2013, the TCCG brought forward a “proof of concept” proposal designed to establish a network of linear, roadside shaded fuelbreaks on approximately 823 acres on the forest’s southernmost district in Trinity County. All proposed shaded fuelbreaks would primarily occur within 150 feet on either side of National Forest System roads 02S02, 2S47, 2S48, 2S49, 2S50, 2S51, 2S52 and 2S53, and one motorized trail (8E20). The proposed treatments would also thin entire overstocked plantations and rare oak woodlands bordering roadways.
“We worked closely with the collaborative to make sure we had a project that would provide area residents safer evacuation routes during wildfires; allow faster wildland firefighter response and suppression; and reduce the risk of roadside fires burning high-value forest resources,” said Dill, district ranger for the Mad River Ranger District.
The TCCG is composed of 55 diverse stakeholders including landowners, business owners, local and regional conservation groups, timber industry representatives, fire safe councils, local non-governmental organizations, federal and county government agencies. The collaborative vision is to build on the success of earlier initiatives to bridge organizations and gain traction to address environmental, economic and social concerns.
The draft environmental assessment is available for review at the Six Rivers National Forest Supervisor’s Office, 1330 Bayshore Way, Eureka, CA; Mad River Ranger District, 741 State Highway 36, Bridgeville, CA; or online at www.fs.usda.gov/project/?project=51215.
Comments on the 1st 48 Project are being accepted until March 26, 2018. Comments may be mailed to 1st 48 Project, Six Rivers National Forest, 1330 Bayshore Way, Eureka, CA 95501; hand-delivered Monday through Friday from 8am to 4:30pm (excluding holidays); faxed to (707) 441-3598; or emailed to [email protected] and/or [email protected] in common (.doc, .docx, .pdf, .rtf, .txt) formats with the Subject: 1st 48 Project. Comments received, including the names and addresses of those who comment, will be considered part of the public record for this proposal and will be available for public inspection (40 CFR 1501.7 and 1508.22; Forest Service Handbook 1909.12 §21).
For more information, contact District Ranger Dan Dill at (707) 574-6844.

HOUSTON – Houston police said gunshots were fired at Baseball USA in northwest Houston during a game Saturday evening.
Baseball USA is located in the 2600 block of W. Sam Houston Pkwy N.
No one was hit by the gunfire and no injuries have been reported.
The incident was captured on video and left children and their parents scrambling to get to safety.
In the video, you can hear kids yell as they start running, then several gunshots are heard.
Jared Kornele, who coaches 6- and 7-year-olds for Havoc Baseball said his team ran for safety when they heard the gunshots. He said everyone is shaken up.
“All they can remember is duck and cover, us throwing kids over fences, just the little stuff that happened. We were running through neighborhoods, backyards, house owners right there on the backside of Baseball USA let us in their house gave us safety, let us go inside their rooms. It was probably many teams, hundreds of people in different houses packed up like sardines but we did what we had to do to get the kids to safety,” he said.
Kornele said Houston police responded. He believes the shooting happened in the parking lot, but police have not confirmed what happened.

Today, the capital of the Republic of Macedonia bears the distinction of having the worst air pollution in all of Europe, forcing citizens to protect themselves with high efficiency air filters when staying indoors.
In fact, data from the World Health Organization reveals that in 2017, three out of the top 10 cities with the worst air quality are in Macedonia, prompting authorities to take emergency measures to fight uncontrolled air pollution levels in the country. Sadly, these efforts have yet to have any real effect.
It’s estimated that more than 1,300 premature deaths per year happen in the Macedonian capital due to air pollution exposure. Particulate matter (PM) pollution is of special concern to health officials in the country.
Understanding Skopje’s Outdoor and Indoor Air Quality Problems
PM levels in the atmosphere above Skopje have been observed to be more than 10 times higher than the air quality guidelines set by the European Union. This includes coarse particulate matter, or PM10 and fine particulate matter, or PM2.5 and below. Fine particle pollution is especially dangerous as these pollutants are small and light enough to stay suspended in the air for hours, often entering homes, buildings, and schools, through gaps and cracks on doors, walls and windows.
Home Air Purifiers a Luxury in Skopje
Air pollution is so rampant in Skopje and the rest of Macedonia that many citizens are forced to buy home air purifiers to prevent themselves and their families from breathing in dirty air. But these devices are a luxury—the average air purifier costs around 400 euros, nearly the average monthly salary.

Last week was tested in an inflatable heat shield for the spacecraft, which demonstrated the potential of these light and flexible device intended to protect ships in the atmosphere while returning to Earth. Traditional thermal protection is a solid surface, which is either disconnected from the apparatus (in the case of the rovers sent to Mars), or gradually destroyed in the atmosphere. These panels are heavy and limit the payload available ship. Dimensions screens also limited, because they must fit in a space vehicle. Shields in the form of inflatable structures in the theory can solve the identified problems, because it is relatively lightweight and compact when folded. The new development called "Inflatable multiple transport experiment" (Inflatable Re-entry Vehicle Experiment, IRVE), was successfully tested with a small rocket, launched from a U.S. spaceport Wallops (Wallops Flight Facility) at Wallops Island, Virginia. The missile broke the 218 miles in 4 minutes of flight before the panel weight 40 kg, packed in 40-cm container, separated. Then, using pressurized nitrogen heat shield took the form of "hats" of the fungus with a diameter of 3 m. Carrying a payload that includes the navigation and gather data about the flight electronics, IRVE passed through Earth's atmosphere at supersonic speeds. Engineers expected excess of 5 swings (1 Mach is the speed of sound), or 1.7 km / s, but the final figures will be known after a full analysis of the data. How has warmed the surface of the shield, when he turned on the water of the Atlantic Ocean, not known for certain, although the Project Manager, Mary-Beth Васк (Mary-Beth Wusk) from Langley Research Center (Langley Research Center) NASA in Hampton spoke about the values of above 140 ° C. The shield is made of several layers of heat-resistant material woven with the use of thin ceramic fibers, closing a bag made of silicon coated with Kevlar in the form of ballona.Konstruktsiya screen is a cross between a parachute and the balloon and is known as "Ballut. A number of companies and government agencies have been developing Ballut and other inflatable screens for many years, including the company Andrews Space of Seattle, Washington. Temperature, which can withstand the shield depends on its size, says the chief engineer at Langley, Robert Dillman (Robert Dillman). Large surface area provides a lower rate of fall of the apparatus and increases the efficiency of the distribution of heat load. "It's like waving racket ping-pong in the air, first forward edge, and then the plane - leads analogy Dillman. - It distributes the energy over a larger area."
Because inflatable billboards may be wider than the carrier of their rocket, they are able to maintain a large mass in comparison with traditional protective screens. And their own light weight allows the ship to carry a larger amount of payload. According Dillmana, the ease of the new development will be fitting for the preparation of the mission to the Red Planet, because at such distances matter weight of the goods is critical: "If you want to send to Mars, more equipment, you want to apply creativity, or to draw attention to the inflatable structures. IRVE fully able to cope with voyages to Mars or Titan, as well as to return something to the International Space Station. Shield will work wherever there is atmosphere, "- adds an engineer. However, the development has yet to feel the heat resistance. "It was just a test flight, and the temperature, which will meet on board the interplanetary speed is not achieved. We have to work on to create a fully functional version IRVE", - summary Dillman. The team hopes that the next test flight will take place in early 2012.

Tube journeys can be a slog at the best of times.
It's an amazing network, and one we are proud of, but after a long day or a rainy run to the station, all we want to do is get home.
And while most journeys are go perfectly well, there is one aspect of some that drives us round the bend.
It is, of course, the dreaded noise.
For more news and features about London directly to your inbox sign up to our newsletter here.
Londoners who only travel on a few specific routes may have not experienced the horrific noises that the Tube can create.
But others will know exactly what we're talking about.
Some parts of the network screech so loud they have become notorious for it. Notably the Central Line between Liverpool Street and Bethnal Green, the Jubilee line from Canary Wharf to North Greenwich, and the Northern line around the Camden Town and Chalk Farm area.
The "rail squeak" as it is more technically known is what causes the noise in some areas of the network. It is created by the metal wheels against the curve in the tracks.
While Transport for London said there are currently no legal limits on the amount of noise and vibration that can be emitted from an existing railway, research by a UCL academic found noise exceeded 105 decibels on 10 journeys across the Jubilee, Central, Victoria and Bakerloo lines in Zones 1 and 2, BBC were told.
The Victoria Line service was on average the loudest, according to the 2018 research, while other noisy parts of the Tube were similar to "being at a rock concert."
And not only is rail squeak bad for customers, but for TfL too, with damage to racks and trains adding more and more to their maintenance bill.
So, to avoid unnecessary losses and save us all from going deaf before the age of 60 - what exactly are TfL doing about it?
What is being done to fix the noise?
A TfL spokesperson said: "We understand how important it is to our neighbours, customers and staff that we do all we can to minimise noise levels on the Tube.
"We are renewing track, carrying out regular maintenance work and investing in new technologies to reduce noise on the Underground.
"We also monitor noise levels around London and liaise with residents and elected representatives all over the city to understand their concerns."
The transport body added that while new technologies will carry on being tested, the pandemic continues to effect on finances, meaning other issues may be prioritised.
Each complaint is handled on a case-by-case basis, and practical actions are carried out to reduce the decibel level of noise.

Two-time Academy Award winner Tom Hanks (Best Actor, Forrest Gump, 1994; Best Actor, Philadelphia, 1993) stars in the tense, action-packed thriller ‘Captain Phillips,’ now available on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital HD UltraViolet from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Directed by Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Ultimatum, United 93), ‘Captain Phillips’ is based on the true story behind the first American cargo ship hijacking in 200 years, the Maersk Alabama, and its U.S. Navy rescue in 2009. The emotionally charged and critically acclaimed film focuses on the relationship between the ship’s captain, Richard Phillips (Hanks), and the Somali pirate captain (breakout actor Barkhad Abdi) who takes him hostage 145 miles off the Somali coast, with both men at the mercy of forces beyond their control. ‘Captain Phillips received four Golden Globe nominations, including Best Motion Picture, Paul Greengrass for Best Director, Tom Hanks for Best Actor and Barkhad Abdi for Best Supporting Actor. In addition, the film has received Screen Actors Guild nominations for Hanks for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role and Abdi for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role. Bonus features include “Capturing Captain Phillips,” a three-part, behind-the-scenes look at the film’s production and real events surrounding the film. Also included is a commentary with director Paul Greengrass. Captain Phillips is a multi-layered examination of the 2009 hijacking of the U.S. container ship Maersk Alabama by a crew of Somali pirates. It is — through director Paul Greengrass’s distinctive lens — simultaneously a pulse-pounding thriller and a complex portrait of the myriad effects of globalization. The film focuses on the relationship between the Alabama’s commanding officer, Captain Richard Phillips, and the Somali pirate captain, Muse, who takes him hostage. Phillips and Muse are set on an unstoppable collision course when Muse and his crew target Phillips’ unarmed ship; in the ensuing standoff, 145 miles off the Somali coast, both men will find themselves at the mercy of forces beyond their control.

Charlie Brown is asked to escort the queen, which happens to be none other than the elusive, little red-haired girl, whom Charlie Brown has been pining for all his life. In spite of his trembling from nervousness, he escorts her to the dance floor and somehow summons up the courage to kiss her on the cheek. This kiss is electrifying. However, from that moment forward, everything becomes a complete blur for Charlie Brown. He wakes the next morning having no memory of anything that happened.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner warned Thursday against a premature shift to austerity. "We need to stay intensely focused on strengthening the economy in the short term," Geithner said in a speech to The Economic Club of New York. "We can't cut our way to growth," he said. After the November election, the two parties "will have to work together very quickly" to address fiscal challenges or tax hikes and spending cuts amounting to 5% of gross domestic product will kick in, he said. "This should provide Washington with a strong incentive to agree on a balanced package of reforms," Geithner said. The U.S. will need about $4 trillion in savings to get the deficit back to a sustainable level over the next decade, he said. He defended the White House plan to hit this target with a mix of roughly two-and-a-half dollars in spending cuts for every dollar in new revenue. Some Republicans have proposed capping spending at 20% of GDP. This would "end the decades-long bipartisan commitment" to a strong defense, affordable health care, and a basic pension benefit for retirees, Geithner said.

In a video interview, Fujitsu’s Femi Adeyemi talks with 5G Technology world about the company’s 5G radios and the Telecom Infrastructure Project.
While most of the 5G talk surrounding Open RAN focuses on the digital baseband, those digital data streams come from and go to the radio. Fujitsu Network Communications has developed two 5G radios for Open RAN. These radios are now part of the Telecom Infra Project (TIP).
Found on the TIP Marketplace, the dual-band radio unit (RU) covers bands 66 and 70 while a triple-band radio covers bands 26, 29, and 71. These 5G frequency bands generally cover 5G low-band frequencies 600 MHz, 700 MHz, and mid-band frequencies around 2 GHz.
The Fujitsu radios use what’s called the 7.2 Functional Split (Figure 1), which places the RF circuits and the low-PHY (layer 1) functions at the radio. The high PHY functions reside in the RAN’s distribution unit (DU).
In the video, Fujitsu’s Femi Adeyemi explains how the functional split and the RAN disaggregation RAN lets operators choose where to locate a DU with respect to an RU. That provides a flexibility not available with aggregated baseband units (BBUs). For example, moving most BBU functions to the DU, as in the 7.2 split, minimizes the real estate needed at a tower site. The choice of RU-to-DU distance comes down to latency. Keeping the DU close minimizes latency but restricts the DU’s location options.
Adeyemi also how the radios are preconfigured with respect to RF beams. That is, they can support up to four beams, but the beams don’t move with the user. The radios can also drive omnidirectional antennas. Given the relatively low frequencies that the radio support, beam steering is generally not needed in the way it’s needed at higher frequencies, especially mmWave.

Kipling and War
From 'Tommy' to 'My Boy Jack'
Though never a soldier himself, Kipling wrote extensively about war. This selection of his journalism, fiction and verse ranges from Egypt and India to Sudan and South Africa. Featuring his eye-witness reports from the Boer War, his commentary on the First World War, and celebrated poems such as ‘Tommy’, ‘Gunga Din’ and ‘Recessional’, it reflects both his sympathy for the lot of the common soldier and his opinion of high command.
Kipling and the Sea
Voyages and Discoveries from North Atlantic to South Pacific
Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936) often travelled by sea and he had a keen interest in all things nautical. This selection of his letters, journalism, books and poems ranges from a brief account of his first journey from Bombay to England in 1871 to correspondence with Sir Percy Bates, Chairman of Cunard, in the 1930s, and illustrates Kipling’s impressive maritime knowledge and his deep respect for the ocean.

Mark Twain was 12 when his father died. He left school and began working at the first of a series of many different jobs.
He started as a printer’s helper and had soon learned enough to become a full-fledged printer. One of his very earliest dreams came true in 1857 when, at the age of 22, he went to work on a Mississippi riverboat.
Two years later he became its captain. Later, he tried prospecting for gold and then became a newspaper reporter. It was while he was working on a newspaper that his first book was published. It was a group of short stories entitled The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County.
The year was 1865. Mark Twain’s real name was Samuel Clemens. Probably the two most famous books Twain wrote were The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, both books young people love. Like the boys in both these books, Twain had grown up on the shores of the great Mississippi and Missouri rivers.
Many of his own boyhood adventures are to be found in these books. Mark Twain not only wrote books, he liked to talk to people and make them laugh.
Huckleberry Finn was published in 1884.

Leading up to Thanksgiving Day, conditions will be warm and sunny. However, temperatures will drop significantly by Friday.
Here’s what the weather will look like for turkey day.
Wednesday, Nov. 22
The day before Thanksgiving will be sunny with a high of 57 degrees, according to Pinpoint Weather Meteorologist Travis Michels.
While it’s going to be almost 60 degrees on Wednesday, the temperatures will drop once the sun goes down. Bring a jacket if you have plans at night, low temperatures will be below freezing.
Thanksgiving: Thursday, Nov. 23
Thanksgiving won’t be as warm as Wednesday, but there will still be sunny skies for the feast.
Temperatures will get to 47 degrees, which is just below average for the holiday. Even if it is sunny when you leave the house, dress warm. It’s going to hit below-freezing again by Thursday night.
Black Friday, Nov. 24
If you’re waking up early or staying up late for shopping sales, it’s going to be chilly.
There is a significant weather drop from Thursday into Friday. Even in the daytime, the high on Friday will be 40 degrees with possible flurries.
Next weekend’s temperatures are subject to change, but Michels expects the weather to drop throughout the weekend.
It’s going to warm up by the end of the weekend, but it will be brisk during any holiday plans over the weekend.

By Vern Hee
This year’s Trojans soccer club team has added a new coach to the roster. Jodd Friesz is not totally new to the Trojans, but in terms of club coaching, by his own admission, he is just a rookie.
Last soccer season he coached the Trojans girls junior varsity and now will also be assisting on the club team with head coach Joe Sladek. Sladek is also assistant to the head varsity coach, Pam Larmouth.
In soccer, club teams have transformed the landscape of the sport in Las Vegas and here. Gone are the days when a girl can play all her life in AYSO and expect to automatically play on the girls soccer team at the high school level.
Many college athletic directors expect their athletes to have club experience. To excel in most sports in Las Vegas, you have to be playing some form of club sport.
The Lady Trojans soccer team is the first of the high school sports to go entirely club. There are a lot of teams in Las Vegas that have their best players on club teams, but not their whole team.
This clubbing of the team has led to two state titles for the Trojans.
“We have 15 kids out for the Club team,” said Friesz. “We have five eighth graders, six junior varsity players and four varsity players on the team. Then we have two games a week. I am just helping out.”
Friesz is like Sladek in many ways. He is just getting a later start.
Sladek started coaching in AYSO but his involvement increased when his girls, Sydney and Haley, were around nine and ten.
The first-time coach would be the first to admit not having any soccer experience prior to coaching for the Trojans. He is self-taught and learned the sport to help his daughter, Jessica, become better. She plays on the junior varsity team.
“I always played and watched sports growing up. Watching others and learning from others is a benefit. I learned so much when I went to coaching seminars in California. I just listened and learned. In Las Vegas, I’m the rookie coach and oftentimes don’t get to ask questions, so I just soak up the information like a sponge,” he said.
In club, everything becomes more complicated and you have to learn a new system of offense and defense. Over the years, as a club and varsity coach, Sladek has perfected the system used by the Trojans and his club teams.
“I am definitely learning Joe’s system,” said Friesz. “We ran it during the junior varsity. All the girls train together so if you are going to run it in varsity you have to run it in junior varsity.”
Friesz said the system is complex and takes a bit to learn but he likes the way it flows.
“In a nutshell, every one has to be in the right position and it flows. It helps you play defense. It is a one-striker system. It gets the ball to the outside. It’s a defensive formation that helps you counter other attacking formations,” explained the rookie coach.
He said in the system the striker an attacker or scorer pretty much free flows and stays on the side where the ball is located. They stay on top even when the ball is on the other side. She overlaps and can go on either side of play.
“Our system is harder on the younger ages — not everyone has the talent to run this,” said Friesz. “At an earlier age you have some that don’t have the skills. With this system everyone has to participate to make this flow. So this system is not for younger players. I believe by playing in the off season we get about a year’s growth from the kids playing club ball. It’s probably more intense than the high school season. We are hoping many of the kids will go to varsity next year.”
It is interesting that Larmouth and Sladek are developing another coach. Some have speculated Sladek would be leaving after his last daughter, Sydney, graduates next year. Sladek maintains he has not made that decision yet and plans on coaching for a while.
Sladek is always all smiles when he talks soccer. Normally, he’s a quiet man, but when someone wants to talk soccer he becomes more animated and alive. The sport is a big part of his life.
Sladek said one reason for developing the new club coach is many of the older kids on the varsity team play on different club teams in Las Vegas, so he wanted to be able to develop the younger kids coming up. He had to start a younger club team. Sladek still coaches many of the older girls in club so he can not be in two places at once. He said Friesz coaches for two days of the week while he takes three.
The younger team will ensure the Trojans will have a new crop of players to replace the seven seniors leaving after next year’s season.
“This is a newer team,” said Sladek. “We’ve got a group of younger girls playing in the spring this year because we have some of the older girls playing on different club teams.
“This is the first time these girls have played together so they have to figure each other out. We got beat 2-0 nothing by one of the best teams of Las Vegas, Players 97 team.”
Yes, his club team got beat. Even Sladek realizes he can’t win all the time. Part of the process of the club experience he said is losing to better teams so your team gets better.
“It is a little faster and a lot more physical than what they expected. This was the first time a lot of them played club ball. It was the first time for all but three of them.
“The season will go for seven games in February and March. If they want to go through the state tournament then they will have five more games through April and May,” said the veteran coach.

Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again. It seemed to me I stood by the iron gate leading to the drive, and for a while I could not enter for the way was barred to me. There was a padlock and a chain upon the gate. I called in my dream to the lodge-keeper, and had no answer, and peering through the rusted spokes of the gate I saw that the lodge was uninhabited.
No smoke came from the chimney, and the little lattice windows gaped forlorn. Then, like all dreamers, I was possessed of a sudden with supernatural powers and passed like a spirit through the barrier before me. The drive wound away in front of me, twisting and turning as it had always done, but as I advanced I was aware that a change had come upon it; it was narrow and unkept, not the drive that we had known…
Moonlight can play odd tricks upon the fancy, even upon a dreamer’s fancy. As I stood there, hushed and still, I could swear that the house was not an empty shell but lived and breathed as it had lived before…
When I thought of Manderley in my waking hours I would not be bitter. I should think of it as it might have been, could I have lived there without fear. I should remember the rose-garden in summer, and the birds that sang at dawn. Tea under the chestnut tree, and the murmur of the sea coming up to us from the lawns below.“Rebecca,” by Daphne du Maurier, Chapter 1.
These are the opening lines of “Rebecca,” the 1938 novel by Daphne du Maurier. It was one of my late aunt’s favorite books. I have her original copy, published by Victor Gollancz, with her name and date in it (9th January, 1940). It has been sadly attacked by insects, as so often happens in our part of the world; I am going to try to get it restored.
1940 was the year in which the first film was made of the novel, starring Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine. You can watch it on YouTube. It won two Oscars. This year, a new film has been streamed on Netflix, starring Armie Hammer, Lily James and (thank God) Kristin Scott Thomas. The first film was directed by the master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock; the second by Ben Wheatley, whose resumé does not really impress me. Hitchcock, by the way, directed du Maurier’s “The Birds” and “Jamaica Inn.”
I loved the book (a second reading); and the 1940 film was far superior, in my view, to the Netflix version. I read/watched all three very recently. And I have to agree with the New York Times on the latest effort: “Who thought this was a good idea?” Their review is quite scathing, and the New Yorker‘s even more damning. I agree with the latter also: Du Maurier’s story deserves better.
Du Maurier was a great storyteller. This story was written at an unhappy period in her life, when she was living with her husband, a military man who was posted to Egypt. She was extremely homesick for her beloved Cornwall (the setting of most of her novels) in south-west England, with its wild seacoast and lush landscapes (it has a mild climate). The book was published when she was just thirty years old.
I first read the book many years ago – as it was sold to me and other readers, as a “gothic romance.” To my surprise, I found it much darker than that, the second time around. The narrator (whose name we do not know), married on an impulse to the mysterious Maxim de Winter, dragged me painfully through her internal struggles, her waves of denial and self-denigration, and…her anger. I hadn’t realized what an angry book it was. The reader gets pulled into Mrs. de Winter’s emotional twists and turns, her imaginings of the past, and her pathetic attempts to understand the words and actions of others in the context of her own perceived inadequacies. The reader gets to hang around in her daydreams. Eventually, “We deserved better!” the unhappy couple seems to cry, tied in a knot largely of their own making.
And Rebecca? She just laughs, into eternity.
The Hitchcock film emphasizes the darkness. Of course, he was a master at black and white shadows and sudden, sharp profiles. The swirling fog on the night of a shipwreck; the candlelight illuminating Mrs. Danvers’ long, pale face as she walks through the west wing of the house; the stark silhouette of a staircase on the wall. At one point, the camera pans slowly, almost sadly, round Rebecca’s bedroom, as if through a whispering veil. Curtains billow.
The acting in the 1940 film is far superior to the Netflix version, also. Mr. de Winter is suitably austere, with some grey hairs, and his brooding, distant look is…well, it’s Laurence Olivier, a Shakespearean actor of repute. Joan Fontaine also does a good job of looking deeply confused and out of her depth, her emotions flitting across her face and disappearing as she tries to say and do the right thing – usually unsuccessfully. She lives through other people’s stories, and it is exhausting. She is what my aunt might have called “a bag of nerves.” She is also of the wrong class, and suddenly “Lady of the Manor,” very much in the shadow of her predecessor – the first Mrs. de Winter, whose beautifully monogrammed possessions she finds all over the house.
Setting aside the almost non-stop background music in the 1940 version, and the strangely clipped pronunciation of words that were features of acting at the time – give me Laurence and Joan, any time. They had a whole heap of charisma and complicated emotions, between them. Besides, much of the dialogue is taken directly from the book, and therefore rings true.
In this year’s version, Lily James seems just a little scatty most of the time. Kristin Scott Thomas portrays the tortured, grieving housekeeper Mrs. Danvers very well, however – although I feel she smiles too much. The Australian-born actress Judith Anderson gave an Oscar-nominated performance in the first film, with her startlingly black, luminous eyes and her taut figure, seemingly inhabiting every hallway and corner.
One critical aspect of the book is that there is quite a large age difference between Maxim and his “young bride.” This is completely lost in the Netflix version, in which Mr. Hammer looks too young and rather lost, rather than brooding. In fact, the relationship between the two newly-weds is supposed to be more like father and daughter than lovers. Maxim often tells his wife things like: “It’s a pity you have to grow up.” In the Netflix version, they have far too much sex and sleep in the same bed; in the book (and the first film) there is hardly an inkling of sex and it is mentioned several times that they slept in separate beds. However, the subtle sexual undertones of the book are quite lost in the films (especially the latter one); there is more than a hint of eroticism in the housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers’ obsession with her former mistress. The Maxim character (almost parental) likely reflects the author’s dominating father. Daphne du Maurier was bisexual. None of these possible psychological themes were explored in any way in the Netflix version. It just hops and skips through the story to the end.
But then, this is Netflix; keep it light and glossy. The costumes, the settings look lovely. The house itself is not the dominant, living breathing creature it should be, however, despite the lovely rooms, the flowers, the minstrel’s gallery. For some reason, a white fancy dress costume becomes a red one (just as in the first film, the house of Rebecca’s doctor is transplanted to Shepherd’s Bush, rather than Barnet). Some decisions by filmmakers are hard to fathom, but for some reason I always notice these details.
Also, no one has tea in the Netflix version; in the book, afternoon tea, usually a lonely affair for Mrs. de W, is a ritual that punctuates her days, with sandwiches, scones, crumpets, two kinds of cake. That’s right: it’s not British enough, and despite the lovely dresses etc., it doesn’t have the “old-fashioned” feel of that period.
One thing I noted was not captured in either of the films: Manderley and its grounds, sweeping down to the sea and up to the house. The book truly has a sense of place – outdoors as much as inside the house of secrets.
“There,” said Maxim suddenly, “Take a look at that.”
We stood on a slope of a wooded hill, and the path wound away before us to a valley, by the side of a running stream. There were no dark trees here, no tangled undergrowth, but on either side of the narrow path stood azaleas and rhododendrons, not blood-coloured like the giants in the drive, but salmon, white, and gold, things of beauty and grace, drooping their lovely, delicate heads in the soft summer rain.
“We call it the Happy Valley,” he said.“Rebecca,” by Daphne du Maurier, Chapter 10.

PIA aircraft crashes in residential area near Karachi airportArchive
A Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) aircraft has crashed in a residential area near the Karachi Airport.
PIA spokesperson Abdul Sattar confirmed the crash and added that the flight A-320 was carrying 90 passengers and was flying from Lahore to Karachi.
Footage showed plumes of smoke rising from the site of the crash. Ambulances and rescue officials arrived at the scene to help residents.
Last year, a PIA aircraft escaped accident after it skidded off the runway while landing at Gilgit airport.
Passengers had remained safe in the accident, but the plane suffered considerable damage.
This is a developing story that is being updated as the situation evolves. Initial reports in the media can sometimes be inaccurate. We will strive to ensure timeliness and accuracy by relying on credible sources such as concerned, qualified authorities and our staff reporters.

It’s a difficult time for Kane Brown and his band as they mourn the death of their friend and drummer, Kenny Dixon.
On Wednesday night, the country singer, 25, broke down while accepting an award at this year’s CMT Artists of the Year event, dedicating it to his late bandmate.
“Thank you all so much. I want to dedicate this to our drummer Kenny,” Brown said, holding back tears, Entertainment Tonight reported.
“He started with me coming out of Chattanooga off Facebook. People didn’t think we would make it. He was with me the whole time. He was so supportive of me,” he added, crying, according to the outlet. “I love you man, I miss you. The band misses you.”
Later in the evening, country singer Chris Young performed his emotional song “Drowning” in a tribute to Dixon.

In Victorian England, a master criminal makes elaborate plans to steal a shipment of gold from a moving train.
_**Robbing a train of a shipment of gold in Victorian, England**_ Written/directed by Michael Crichton and released in 1978/79, “The Great Train Robbery” was loosely based on the real-life Great Gold Robbery of 1855 that took place in England. Sean Connery plays the mastermind, Lesley-Anne Down his girlfriend and Donald Sutherland a safecracker with whom they team-up. I generally don’t like caper films because the protagonists are criminals, but Crichton wisely makes the characters played by Connery and Sutherland likable rapscallions; meanwhile Down is babelicious, in particular in her jaw-dropping first scene. Crichton intentionally made the movie more farcical compared to his novel and I appreciated the wit and low-key humor. I didn’t expect to like this movie, but it won me over. The film runs 1 hour, 51 minutes, and was shot primarily in Ireland (Dublin, Bray, Cork & Moate), but also Pinewood Studios, England. GRADE: B-/B

The article “Musicking and Soundscapes amongst Magical-Religious Witches Community and Ritual Practices” by Helen Cornish is available as a free download from Religions journal.
Drumming and chanting are core practices in modern magical-religious Witchcraft in the absence of unifying texts or standardized rituals. Song and musicality contribute towards self-creation and community making. However, Nature Religions and alternate spiritualities are seldom included in surveys of religious musicking or soundscapes. This article considers musicality in earlier publications on modern Witchcraft, as well as the author’s fieldwork with magical-religious Witches in the UK, to show the valuable contribution they make to discsusions on religious belonging and the sensorium through song, music, percussion, and soundscapes.

The industry has a procedure for stabilizing and sampling retrograde-gas(gas-condensate) wells; however, no investigation of the quality of the samplesresulting from this procedure has been published. During sampling, bottomholeflowing procedure has been published. During sampling, bottomhole flowingpressure (BHFP) typically is less than the dewpoint pressure of the pressure(BHFP) typically is less than the dewpoint pressure of the original reservoirgas. This causes condensate liquid to build up in the reservoir around thewellbore. This paper presents the results of a study of the sampling procedureand of the buildup and stability of the condensate ring around the wellbore. Aprocedure designed to give the best chance of obtaining a representative sampleis presented.
A gas sample from a retrograde-gas (gas-condensate) reservoir almost alwaysis obtained by sampling the gas and liquid from the separator and recombiningthe samples at the producing gas/liquid ratio. It is important that thewellhead pressure and the gas and liquid production rates be stable before andduring sampling. Also, the gas production rate during this time must be largeenough to remove all liquid continuously from the production string. Duringsampling, it is likely that the BHFP will be less than the dewpoint pressure ofthe original reservoir gas. If so, there will be a pressure gradient in thereservoir near the well where pressure is less than dewpoint pressure. pressureis less than dewpoint pressure. How can a recombined surface samplerepresentative of the original reservoir gas be obtained under theseconditions? This paper answers that question. Sampling problems, such as humanerror, measurement bias, and incorrect laboratory recombination, are notconsidered here. Rather, this paper addresses the conditions necessary for theproduction stream to be of the correct composition so that obtaining a goodsample is possible. Radial compositional simulation was used to examine thepressure and saturation distributions in the reservoir, the producing GOR, andthe composition of the total production stream at the surface during sampling.("GOR" is used in this paper because of its common usage in thepetroleum industry, the liquid is actually condensate.) The equation of state(EOS) was tuned with laboratory data. Three retrograde gases (gas condensates)with different compositions were used in the study. The richest gas caused thelargest buildup of condensate around the wellbore. The conclusions of thisstudy are independent of gas composition, however, so the results presented arebased on only one of these gases Several different sets of relativepermeability data were used. All were for water-wet systems. The positions ofthe endpoints and shapes of the relative permeability curves affected thequantity of condensate around the wellbore but did not affect the conclusionsof this study. Thus, the results reported here are based on one set of relativepermeability data. Several combinations of initial reservoir pressure anddewpoint pressure of original reservoir gas were examined. Only the worst caseof initial reservoir pressure slightly greater (15 psi) than dewpoint pressureis presented. psi) than dewpoint pressure is presented. SimulationProcedure
The Soave-Redlich-Kwong (SRK) EOS was used in the compositional simulationsCompositional analyses through C30 were available for all gases used.Components between C7 and C 30 were grouped into four pseudocomponents, iso-and n-butanes and pentanes were combined, and the small amounts ofnonhydrocarbon components were combined with the appropriate hydrocarbons. Thisresulted in a 10-component mixture. The EOS was tuned toconstant-composition-expansion and constant-volume-depletion data. The a and bof methane and the four heavy pseudocomponents and the binary interactioncoefficients between methane and each of the four heavy pseudocomponents wereadjusted in the manner suggested by Coats pseudocomponents were adjusted in themanner suggested by Coats and Smart. Agreement between the results of the tunedEOS and the laboratory data was excellent, the reservoir conditions duringsimulation were well within the limits of the data used in tuning, andreservoir conditions were well removed from the critical point of the mixture.Thus, the characterization of the reservoir fluid was adequate for the purposeof this study. Dewpoint pressure of the original reservoir gas was 5,170 psia,and the initial reservoir pressure at the top of the reservoir psia, and theinitial reservoir pressure at the top of the reservoir was 5,185 psia. Theendpoint of the three-phase relative permeability to liquid condensate occurredat a condensate saturation of 8.5% and a gas saturation of 75.0%. Irreduciblewater saturation was 16.5%. The reservoir discussed in this paper was a radial160 acres made up of five layers of various thicknesses. Vertical andhorizontal permeabilities were equal, The permeability-thickness product washigh, about 700 md-ft. Sensitivity runs indicated, product was high, about 700md-ft. Sensitivity runs indicated, however, that when the gas production ratewas normalized to percent of capacity, the value of the permeability-thicknesspercent of capacity, the value of the permeability-thickness product wasimmaterial to the conclusions of the study. product was immaterial to theconclusions of the study. The grid pattern was radial 5 layers by 12 segments.The solution was implicit with D4 Gaussian elimination. The results presentedin this paper are for a well perforated across the entire interval. Wells withpartial completions acted like layered reservoirs and should be considered assuch for the purposes of planning a fluid sampling program. purposes ofplanning a fluid sampling program. Results
Fig. 1 shows the total producing GOR (separator plus stock-tank gas) andquantity of heptanes plus in the recombined surface samples for a wellproducing at a constant rate of about 15 % of capacity. Although the productionrate is low and constant, a sample representative of the original reservoir gascan be obtained only during the first 30 days of production. After 30 days, theloss of condensate from the gas in the reservoir results in a decrease ofsurface liquid. This causes the producing GOR to increase from the initialvalue of 6,633 scf/STB and the quantity of heptanes plus in the recombinedsurface samples to begin a steady decline away from the value of 7.04% in theoriginal gas. The composition of heptanes plus is selected as the criterion ofa good sample for two reasons. First, heptanes plus is the component mostaffected by loss of condensate in the reservoir. Second, the composition andproperties of heptanes plus strongly affect the properties of the recombinedsurface sample. At 330 days, the gas production rate was reduced to 5% ofcapacity in an attempt to get a good sample. This caused an instantaneouschange in producing GOR. However, GOR did not stabilize; rather, it continuedto increase steadily. The quantity of heptanes plus in the recombined samplesdid not recover to the correct value. Obviously, the cutback did not result ina good sample. Once the opportunity of obtaining a good sample is lost,reducing the rate or even shutting in will not improve the chance of getting agood sample (as shown later). This shows that sampling must take place early inthe production of a well. The remainder of this paper focuses on the earlyproduction period.

Very tasty; not bland at all or too salty. Didn't taste like orange, but the OJ (I used fresh-squeezed) made the sauce sweet. I used 3 teaspoons minced garlic and didn't add extra sugar or cornstarch; the sauce was thick already and almost boiled down to the bottom except I added water halfway through roasting. I marinated for 1hr 15min beforehand, and used Lipton's Golden Onion soup mix (1 packet is 1.3oz, which might be why the sauce was so thick.) I also added 3 chopped green onions. Overall, a hit: will probably make again.

For the past two weeks I’ve been reading Rick Warren’s The Purpose Driven Life and I can see why it is a best seller, but this is not a book review, rather it is as the title suggests an attempt to define what it is that drives some people to live their lives a particular way and make the choices in life that they do. Rick Warren discusses this in depth in his book, he says, “Everyone’s life is driven by something…Right now you may be driven by a problem, a pressure, or a deadline. You may be driven by a painful memory, a haunting fear, or an unconscious belief. There are hundreds of circumstances, values and emotions that can drive your life.”
As Rick points out the five most common emotions that drive people are Guilt, Resentment, Fear, Materialism and Approval. Wow, don’t we all know people who are driven to do something with their life or allow one of these emotions control every aspect of their lives. The guilt driven spend their entire lives running from regrets and hiding their shame, they are manipulated by their memories and allow their past to control their future. The resentment driven hold onto their hurts and never get over them, instead of releasing their pain they rehearse it over and over again. Those driven by fear often miss great opportunities; because they are afraid to venture out, they play it safe avoiding risks and spend all their time trying to maintain the status quo. The desire to acquire is what drives the materialistic; they believe that “more” will make them more happy, more important and more secure. And finally many people are driven by the need for approval so they follow the crowd and get lost in it; they allow the opinions of others to guide all that they do in life.
(More in the extended section)
When I was reading this chapter in Rick’s book I couldn’t help but wonder, “What drove men like Mike Stokely, Captain Danjel Bout, Russ Currie, Captain B and the thousands of other men and women who volunteer to go into harms way to serve their country? Why did they feel the pull and not everyone in this country?” And then I realized it…they had not let these emotions control their life, the realized that they were and are here on this earth for a reason and that reason for them lie in the path of the uniform. If you ever speak to Robert Stokely, Mike’s father, or read the short biography of Mike you’ll learn that Mike was always thinking about someone else, never himself. I firmly believe that he did things so that others who couldn’t do them would not have to do them; he did them because he saw it as his purpose in life to serve that way. Sgt Stokely found his purpose in his life and he let it guide him he didn’t fight against it or rebel or only accept it 95% of the time some days, he lived it through and through day after day. In knowing his purpose in life he knew that his life had meaning, and that meaning simplified his life. He no longer needed to do things that were not inline with his purpose he was freed of the burden of deciding what he had to do, he knew what to do, if it didn’t serve his purpose in life he didn’t do it. Let’s contrast this with the life that is being lived by someone that is the antitheses of Mike: Cindy Sheehan.
Now I must admit, I have no idea what is truly going on in Cindy’s head but I can make some assumptions based upon what she says and does and I think I can make a pretty good guess at what emotions are driving her to do what it is she is doing. I would suggest that Cindy is being driven by Guilt and Approval; she has admitted that even before Casey was killed she was against the war and this belief is assaulting her more and more now that her son died in Iraq serving his purpose. This conflict is creating a sense of guilt in her mind that drove her to confront the President at his ranch and this is where the need for approval took over, for as anyone can attest, Cindy has become a media whore, constantly seeking the spotlight and approval for her beliefs.
She is now so intent upon receiving the approval of those that flocked to her first emotional time that she has done everything from announce that she would run against Senator Diane Feinstein, to take her anti-American/anti-Bush trip on the road and now overseas. She is like a dingy on the open ocean going where the current takes her from one extravaganza to another, in and out of jail just as the dingy rides the waves up and down. Is this having a single purpose in your live or as Rick Warren would put it, A Purpose Driven Life? For sure she has a purpose, or she did at one time, but now she is serving more than two masters and neither of those masters will be here for all eternity.
This is I think the underlying difference between having a purpose driven life that has meaning and having one driven by emotion, the sense of an eternity. Every military blogger (milblogger) has mentioned a belief in an afterlife, a belief in God a belief that their life will lead them to an afterlife with God. Is it possible to achieve a life of eternity with God when your soul purpose in life is to hate someone else and all they do? Of course not, we must lead a life where we are living for someone else, and serving only one master.
Mike Stokely realized this, and he realized this early on in his life. Mike wrote in his bible, “God, thank you for my family and friends. Without their continual support I would easily get discouraged. Thank you for the soldiers I work with. They are my brothers and I trust them with my life. Thanks most all for your unwavering love and faithfulness. Even when I mess up you never turn your back on me.” Mike Stokely a short life here on this earth, but his purpose driven life has prepared him for an eternity with God. What drives your life is it a life of the path of the uniform a member of the fellowship of the Infantry or is it something else entirely? Most importantly, is it preparing you for all eternity or are you only here for the short term? Will you allow emotions to rule your life or will you follow Mike’s example and adopt a purpose driven life?

by Mourid BarghoitiThe pillow said:
at the end of the long day
only I know
the confident man’s confusion,
the nun’s desire,
the slight quiver in the tyrant’s eyelash,
the preacher’s obscenity,
the soul’s longing
for a warm body where flying sparks
become a glowing coal.
Only I know
the grandeur of unnoticed little things;
only I know the loser’s dignity,
the winner’s loneliness
and the stupid coldness one feels
when a wish has been granted
Midnight and other Poems is his second book of poetry in English, but the most comprehensive collection of his work available.
The UK Independent has a review of the book here from which this extract is taken:
Barghouti's writings in English are available on his website.
"There is not a single line of propaganda in this book. You will search in vain for any didactic message about Israel-Palestine politics. The only poem clearly prompted by a public event, the televised killing of a small boy by occupying forces on the West Bank, segues into a poignant ghost story in which dream – and dream alone – redeems an accursed time.
Instead of polemic and accusation, Barghouti fashions harrowing elegies, mordant ironies, and a gallows humour as bitter as the coffee grounds marking one of the small rituals that help make the days of dispossession bearable. He quotes Yeats and Shakespeare; he can sound, in his weary, sardonic pluck, much like Auden or Brecht.
This bone-bred sadness does not make Barghouti a detached or "neutral" voice. He bears witness to a people's tragedy that men, not fate, have made – but men in several different uniforms. And, in many poems, the life that coercion cannot kill – the memory of an orange grove, a woman's love, the creatures of the earth and the stars in the sky – kicks against the dark. Barghouti never openly indicts but, an emissary of the defeated, he does ask the victors – any of history's victors – why they find it so hard to sleep soundly".

ADJUSTABLE WAND ASSEMBLY
One of the great products we sell at Doug Rucker Store is the pressure washing gun as well as an adjustable wand. In order to help our customers, we provide a step by step video to assist with putting it all together. The pressure washing gun comes complete with the Suttner ST-2305 Safety Orange Easy-Pull Trigger Gun, a 1/4-inch Mosmatic Gun Swivel, a 12-inch Suttner Star-Shaped Grip Wand, a 1/4-inch FPT quick coupler, and a 3/8-inch MPT quick coupler. This is the gun set up I use for soft washing via down streaming for house and building washing. The gun is very easy to use and the trigger is very easy to hold open. The adjustable wand is a straight lance with better seals that last longer than other models. This ADJUSTABLE WAND ASSEMBLY video provides detailed instructions including connectors, tools and other details.
Open ended wrenches are my preferred tool in this case. However, an adjustable wrench will also work if that is your preference. You will also need teflon tape, thread sealant and a screwdriver. In the video, I cover exactly which tools are needed for which parts.
MOSMATIC SWIVEL for ADJUSTABLE WAND
One of the first decisions for the adjustable wand assembly is whether to use the mosmatic swivel. This allows you to rotate or twist the wand without having to bend the hose. Thus, the advantage is being able to change the angle of the pattern on the end of the nozzle. In some cases you need a horizonal spray, and in other cases you need vertical spray. The mosmatic swivel makes this process much easier without having to stop, reach out, and turn the nozzle to the desired angle. This saves time on the job and makes the entire cleaning process much easier and less exertion on your body. If you are looking for a soft wash gun, check out this post.

Ellen Robinson : Music is Passion, Singing is...Everything!
Music is Passion, Singing is...Everything!
By Ellen Robinson
Music is my passion and my mission is to get the world singing one person at a time. The power of using one's voice to sing is not only for the professional singer, the highly talented vocalist or the American Idol hopeful. It is available to you and to everyone.
Adults who aren't singing on a regular basis generally give one of two reasons:
1. They sang as a child in music class, as a teenager in a high school choir, or as a young adult in a college vocal ensemble. Then came a career or a family and they became too busy doing other things. At some point they remember the joy they experienced long ago when they were singing and realize they miss it. They find their way to one of my choral groups and are reunited with a part of themselves.
2. Adults often carry around negative messages about their singing that they received as a child. I cannot tell you how many times I've heard someone relate the story of how they were told in some grade school class to "stand in the back and hum quietly." Then one day they wake up in adulthood and decide to test out that message. They come to me and find out that they actually CAN sing. They have been toting around a lie all this time and now they are free of that weight. It changes them in a profound way.
Singing with others in a group is a truly joyful experience that enhances the life of every person who participates in so many ways:
Singing has no age limitations. It's never too late or too early to start.
Just open your mouth and give singing a try. Start small... or dive right in.
Find a group where you feel comfortable to sing or work with a vocal coach who helps you feel safe to grow as a singer at whatever pace works for you. You can learn to sing just for your own satisfaction or you can develop your vocal skills and go a very long way. It doesn't matter just begin.
I have been singing and performing as a vocalist since high school and teaching people how to sing and directing choruses since 1971. When I started the Anything Goes Chorus in 1980 there was hardly anyone else leading group singing. Now there are many teachers throughout the Bay Area bringing people together to sing with others and there are lots of opportunities to get turned on to the power of using your voice.
You're going to like how singing makes you feel, because singing is...everything. •

Would you like to discover an aerial sport to experience new sensations? Similar to parachuting, paragliding gives you the feeling of flying. It is a unique experience that allows you to admire the surrounding landscape from the air. However, people can also fly with other equipment, both motorised and non-motorised. Focus on the subject.
Non-motorised means of flight
The hang glider is a soft-winged aircraft that can carry one to two people (single or two-seater). It has a pilot harness in which the pilot stands or lies down and controls his weight to steer the aircraft. To fly with it, it is necessary to be at least 16 years old and to know the regulations in force. It is also important to be trained in how to fly a hang glider and to learn the flying techniques and equipment needed to fly.
The glider is also a wing-shaped aerodyne that can reach high altitudes and fly long distances. At the beginning of the flight, the aircraft is towed to help it reach its first updraft. You can choose between a quiet flight or a more sportive one, depending on your experience. It accommodates one pilot and one passenger.
The wingsuit is a suit with a structure that allows you to glide through the air in freefall. Made of light and flexible materials, the wingsuit allows you to fly at speeds of up to 200 km/h. However, it is a dangerous activity, usually performed by professionals to add another dimension to their flying experience.
Consisting of a large piece of fabric and a harness that supports a person, the parachute allows you to jump in free fall. The deployment of the parachute creates variable air resistance depending on the size, material and shape of the canopy. The strength and reliability of the harness is essential to ensure the safety of the person.
Motorised means of flight
Small or light aircraft have a light structure and wings designed to ensure good stability in flight. They are used for leisure activities, pilot training or short-distance transport, among others. They can carry up to 6 people in addition to the pilot, who must also be certified in accordance with the regulations in force.
The helicopter is an aircraft capable of flying in all directions and even hovering in flight. Equipped with sophisticated navigation systems, the helicopter can reach impressive speeds and altitudes of up to 6,000 metres. If you plan to take a helicopter tour, remember to wear comfortable clothing that won't catch on the rotors.
A small motorised aircraft, the microlight or Ultra Light Motorised aircraft is a single-seater that is easy to fly and has a parachute system for the safety of the pilot. There are several models of microlight adapted to specific types of flight. The use of this flying machine requires training with a qualified instructor.
The paramotor is one of the ultralight models. It is actually a paraglider wing combined with an engine that provides enough power to propel the aircraft. You no longer need to gain altitude, as it is possible to take off from a flat surface. In addition, the aircraft is equipped with a reserve parachute.
Advances in flight technology
Developed for military use, the jetpack has found a place in scientific research, entertainment and extreme sports. This personal propulsion device uses air, water or gas to achieve thrust. It requires proper training to ensure the safety of the pilot.
Flying drones are small, remotely controlled technological attractions. Available in several models with varying characteristics, they can carry a camera, a microphone or specific sensors. Flying drones can take photos, videos and even deliver objects.
Flying hoverboards, which were still fictional a few years ago, are futuristic transportation devices. They are flying skateboards that can carry a person without touching the ground. Trials are continuing to create a real hoverboard as seen in the films Back to the Future 2 and 3. Various technologies such as superconductivity allow the long-awaited levitation to be achieved, but usually in places designed for this purpose.
Futuristic flying vehicles appear in the movies as cars that can fly very fast in all directions. Some prototypes of these vehicles have been developed in recent years although they are not publicly available. They are powered by a variety of advanced technologies such as gas turbines, rotating wings or artificial intelligence systems.
Comparison of the different ways of flying
Non-motorised means of flight are environmentally friendly, quiet, easy to handle and can be flown at high speeds. They require training to learn how to use them. Their short range is also a disadvantage for people who want to fly for long hours. The cost of purchasing this equipment varies according to the model and manufacturer. However, a hang glider costs no less than 3,500 euros, a new glider 100,000 euros, a wingsuit 3,000 euros and a parachute 5,000 euros.
Non-motorised gliders are very sensitive to the weather. It is best to check the weather, know the right areas for the aircraft and have the best safety equipment for a safe experience. Take a look at our hang-gliding and paragliding lessons to see for yourself!
Motorised means of flight can move more quickly. They can reach remote areas and carry several passengers. However, they consume large amounts of fuel and their use under strict conditions can be complicated. Nevertheless, they are equipped with sophisticated safety systems, an advantage over non-motorised means. All aircraft require regular maintenance, which can be more expensive if there is an engine.
In conclusion, there are many ways to fly other than paragliding, from hang gliders to helicopters and microlights. Choose the best aircraft according to your preferences, the advantages, disadvantages and safety offered. Questions of environmental impact, safety and cost reduction continue to arise. However, they will certainly not be an obstacle to exploring the skies with new means.

Goodbyes never come easy and yet there is no way to escape them. Whether it is saying goodbye to your family as you take on a new adventure or struggling to find the words to say goodbye to someone or something you love, goodbyes are a form of heartache that cannot be mistaken.
The idea of “goodbye” is scary because it means you are not only parting with someone who has been involved in your life, but you are also parting with a piece of yourself. If you are willing to get close to someone it means you are willing to share aspects of yourself with them, maybe even qualities that nobody else truly knows about. For many people, opening themselves up is difficult and adding the factor of possible goodbyes tends to make someone even more inclined to become closed-off.
I have had my share of goodbyes and many have not been easy, but surprisingly enough they have eventually lead to different forms of clarity. It is a strength that has to be learned to let go of people who no longer fit into your life, and this strength takes time to find. Some goodbyes are unexpected while others are a long time coming. As much as I hate the idea of losing people with whom I have shared much of my life with, I am learning to accept that this will continue to occur as years pass. Goodbyes are inevitable.
In a twisted way, goodbyes have a great beauty about them. A goodbye signifies the end of something worth recognizing in a person’s life. In order for an ending to occur there needs to have been a beginning and a middle – typically filled with memories. These memories make parting ways even more challenging, but they are also the reason why it is crucial to continue to accept new people into your life. New relationships, new adventures, new loves, these are all opportunities to create new moments. Old memories are never replaced, but allowing yourself to create new memories can make old goodbyes fade a little bit easier.
Although shying away from new people and new opportunities may be the easiest thing to do in an attempt to avoid heartache entirely, this should never be an option. Living with an open heart and an open mind is the only way you are going to have connections with people and these connections are needed to help you grow. No matter how much they may hurt, goodbyes ultimately help lead you to a greater understanding of yourself and what you desire. I am slowly learning to become thankful for the people who have left my life because it has allowed me to invest myself into new people and new passions. Goodbyes will never be easy, but they are a necessary experience as they subtly further you to become the person you want to be.
XO – Autumn

Happy Friday, lovely friends!! I know we're all super busy right now, so I'll keep this short. After years of testing out eggnog recipes—and never finding one that I loved—I developed (literally) the easiest eggnog recipe ever for Good Housekeeping and I am obsessed with it!
Here it is: Melt vanilla ice cream, stir in rum and nutmeg—DONE. That's it! You see, most of my family just downright refuses to drink anything containing raw egg. Vanilla ice cream solves that problem! It already contains key eggnog ingredients—milk, cream, egg, vanilla—but it's cooked and ready to enjoy, straight from the carton. I'd suggest buying good-quality vanilla ice cream since it's kind of the big-deal ingredient of this recipe.
EASIEST EVER EGGNOG
SERVES: 8 to 10
1 (1.75-quart) container good-quality vanilla ice cream
1/3 cup rum or bourbon
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, plus more for sprinkling
1. Microwave ice cream in a large microwave-safe bowl until melted, about 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Add rum and nutmeg and whisk until combined; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
3. Whisk well before serving. Transfer to a punch bowl or individual glasses. Sprinkle with more nutmeg, if desired.
I'll be honest: I'm not normally an eggnog fan but I cannot stop drinking this luscious treat of a cocktail. Make it! Trust me on this one. Cheers! xo Erin

Baby it's cold outside...here in New York City! I was going to hold off sharing my new Peppermint Bark Hot Chocolate recipe—one of the easy Christmas cocktails I developed for Good Housekeeping this year—but I feel like it's a cocoa kind of a day, right?
This recipe is perfect for entertaining because it's made entirely in the slow cooker; it practically makes itself! Let milk, chocolate chips, peppermint extract and a little booze (optional) heat up while you take care of other things, just stir vigorously halfway through to combine. Once the cocoa's finished, use the "keep warm" setting to maintain cozy cocktail temperature all night!
Oo! And don't forget to set out cocoa fixings. My picks: Homemade whipped cream, peppermint sticks, crushed candy canes and extra vodka (for guests who like an extra kick).
SLOW-COOKER PEPPERMINT BARK HOT CHOCOLATE
8 c. whole milk
1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
3 c. bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 c. crème de menthe or vodka (optional)
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. peppermint extract
1/4 tsp. salt
Sweetened whipped cream, for topping
Crushed candy canes, for topping
1. Put the milk, sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, crème de menthe, vanilla extract, peppermint extract and salt in a 7-qt. slow cooker. Cover and cook on High 2 hr. or until combined, whisking vigorously halfway through to help chocolate melt.
2. Switch to Warm for serving. Set out whipped cream and crushed candy canes, for topping.
Q: Are you a Peppermint Bark fan? What other Peppermint Bark-flavored recipes have you tried? I'd love to know! xo Erin

Eggnog is one of my favorite seasonal grocery store staples. It's inexpensive, festive and completely multipurpose. Turn a carton into eggnog pudding, whisk a little into whipped cream or use it to make the super-easy batter for my Eggnog French Toast on Freutcake today!
Straight from the carton, the 'nog already contains 4 batter basics: milk, sugar, eggs and nutmeg. Whisk in a few other ingredients, add good-quality brioche or challah bread and cook until golden brown. The perfect Christmas-lover's breakfast with hardly any fuss!
My favorite eggnog is from Ronnybrook Farm Dairy—it's a little more expensive than other brands but it's worth it! Another solid options: Turkey Hill Eggnog or the Premium Eggnog from Trader Joe's. For this and more of my 5-Ingredient recipes head over to Freutcake (Leah has posted a ton of fabulous Christmas projects this week) and be sure to let me know what you think. Cheers! xo!
5-INGREDIENT EGGNOG FRENCH TOAST
5-INGREDIENT EGGNOG FRENCH TOAST
SERVES: 4 to 6
SERVES: 4 to 6
1 1/2 cups eggnog
5 large eggs
2 tablespoons sugar, plus more for sprinkling (optional)
6 to 8 slices brioche or challah bread (about 1/2-inch-thick)
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for serving (optional)
1. Whisk the eggnog, eggs and sugar in a shallow baking dish until combined.
2. Soak the bread slices (in batches if necessary) until saturated, about 10 minutes per side.
3. Set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet and place in the oven; preheat to 200˚F. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry half of the bread slices until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Keep warm on the rack in the oven. Repeat with the remaining butter and bread slices.
4. Divide French toast among plates. Serve with more butter and sugar for sprinkling, if desired.
Bonus: If you're willing to splurge on 1 extra ingredient, serve with grade A maple syrup or stir a glug (or 2!) rum into the batter before soaking!

With chilly mornings in mind, I'd love to share one of my new recipes for Refinery29 with you: Breakfast Berry Tarts. I'm such a sucker for a pretty breakfast. This one just happens to be super quick and healthy, too—score! Feel free to swap in a different berry and/or nut if you'd like. Here's how you make it...
BREAKFAST BERRY TART
1 whole-grain English muffin, split and toasted
1/4 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
1/2 cup raspberries
1 tablespoon chopped pistachios
Honey, for drizzling
1. Put the English muffin halves on a plate; divide the ricotta among the halves and spread using a knife.
2. Press raspberries into the ricotta. Sprinkle with the pistachios. Drizzle with honey.
What do you think? Could you spare 5 minutes to whip up a breakfast tart for yourself before work? I'd love to know! For my other quick-healthy breakfast ideas, head over to Refinery29! xo

Good morning, lovely friends! T-minus 1 week until Thanksgiving. Are you getting excited!? I certainly am. What are you plans? Are you hosting or just eating? Fill me in!
Sugared Cranberries: Pile sparkly sweet-tart candied cranberries (recipe, below) in plastic pedestal cups like these from Party City. Print names on card stock, cut into tags and snuggle into the cranberries—I used one of my favorite fonts, Canter, to print out Aunt Mistrella's gorgeous name!
Cheese and Crackers: Since boyfriend is such a cheese-nut, I tucked his name tag into a little goat cheese "button" (or Crottin) from Coach Farms. Whole Foods usually sells 'em but you can purchase these teeny goat cheese rounds online, too. Depending on the firmness of the cheese, you may need to cut a 1/4-inch-deep slit to insert the name tag. Place on parchment paper squares and add crackers to complete the look! I used the font Aracne Ultra Condensed Light for boyfriend's name.
Bread and Butter: You'd likely have bread on the table anyway, so why not turn it into a place setting? Make a small incision in the top of a roll (I love the flour-dusted look of the Portuguese roll above!), then print out name tags and insert into the bread. I used Janda Celebration Script to print out our Thanksgiving hostess's name. Serve softened butter family-style or spread butter in modern candy molds, refrigerate and unmold onto each plate for a more polished look. Question: Do you have assigned seats at your Thanksgiving dinner or do you let guests chose their own seats? xo
MAKES: 2 cups
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, thawed
1. Bring the water and 1/2 sugar to a boil in a saucepan over high heat, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Stir in the cranberries; remove from the heat and let cranberries cool completely in the syrup.
2. Put the remaining 1 cup sugar in a large bowl. Drain the cranberries and toss in the sugar to coat. Transfer to a wire rack and let dry 1 hour.

Growing up I thought quiche was a health food. Why not! It (for the most part) is a meat-less alternative to a steak dinner, right? Obviously I now realize that piecrust and gooey cheese will only pad my wiggly bits but I really don't care: I love quiche!
This recipe—one of 3 Easy Quiches I developed for Refinery29—is a great Monday-Friday meal during the holidays. Make it when you have a few minutes, then freeze slices in resealable plastic bags for up to 1 month (just reheat in the oven before serving). My advice: Buy a good hunk of Gruyère cheese for this quiche! It's so tasty with the other Frenchy ingredients. And don't feel bad about using a frozen pie shell...this is a weeknight dinner! xo
CHEESY BACON-LEEK QUICHE
1 frozen pie shell or 1 roll refrigerator pie dough
4 strips bacon
4 small leeks, white and light-green parts only, thinly sliced
4 large eggs
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1 1/2 cups shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese
Freshly ground pepper
1. Bake the pie shell as the label directs. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool slightly.
2. Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a skillet on medium-high heat until crisp, about five minutes, flipping once. Transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate and let cool; reserve drippings in skillet. Cut or crumble bacon into pieces.
3. Add leeks and one-fourth teaspoon salt to the skillet and cook, stirring and scraping up any brown bits in the pan, until leeks are soft, about five minutes. Remove from the heat; let cool slightly.
4. Whisk the eggs and milk in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in the Gruyère cheese, leek mixture, bacon, and one-fourth teaspoon each salt and pepper.
5. Pour filling into the prepared crust; transfer to a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit until the filling sets, about 35 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and cool slightly before serving.

Inlet valve will open automatically once the system has started and will fill with water until the water level
reaches maximum level. If water level is still lower than the minimum water level 10 minutes after, it indicates faults of the water supply system, so all heating elements will stop working and LCD will display “-E”.
Auto heating up by sections:
Generator will compare the measured room temperature with the setting temperature and then decides the number of working heating elements.
Auto water supplementing:
If the water level is lower than the desired level when operating, auto water supplementing function will be on and open the inlet valve. Once the water level reaches the desired level, auto water supplementing function turns off. If water level is lower than the desired level 3 minute after the water supplementing order is given, it indicates faults of the water supply system, so all heating elements stop working and LCD displays “-E”.
When setting time is over or ON/OFF button is pressed, system will drain automatically and displays ‘-d” on the LCD. The drainage valve and the drainage pump will be turned on to drain. After a while the system will open the inlet valve to fill in water in order to wash and cool down the inner tank and heating elements.
The whole process takes about 3 minutes, and the system will be shut off automatically after drainage.

Over a period of 24 years, from the time he was 18 until he was 43 years old, Freddie was in and out of prison 8 times for a total of more than 20 years jail time. He was called “Big Time Freddie” in his community in Marikina, revered by young delinquents and known for far-ranging drug deals.
During his eighth incarceration, in 2004, Freddie saw Pastor Danny Orquico of Christ’s Commission Fellowship arrive in jail with some youth volunteers. They shared God’s word and made friends with Freddie and the other inmates. Then they kept visiting.
Soon Freddie became overwhelmed by the genuine love that he experienced from the pastor. He saw in it a reflection of God’s own love for him, and it moved him to surrender his life to Jesus.
As Freddie began to walk with the Lord, he faced the possibility of spending 12 to 20 years in prison, corresponding to the various criminal charges against him and in consideration of his long record as a felon. He prayed for another chance and committed to serve God for the rest of his life. By God’s grace, when the promulgation came he received an acquittal for almost all the charges against him, and was only found guilty of concealing a deadly weapon. Consequently he was released from prison the following year, on the birthday of his youngest child.
He was determined to keep his commitment to God and not to go back to his old ways, but finding employment after jail seemed close to impossible for a person with a history like Freddie. He resorted to waste-picking, pushing a cart around the city to collect bote-dyaryo (old bottles and newspaper). It was during this time of struggle that Freddie saw the love of Christ as reflected once again in how Pastor Danny and the BIYAHE ministry continued reaching out to him, until he was able to have a stable source of livelihood.
Freddie now works as a washing machine technician and has saved enough capital to purchase his own second-hand machines, which he rents out to people in his community. His income is humble but enough to support his family, and more importantly, he is no longer seen as “Big Time Freddie” but as a man to be regarded with respect. He imparts God’s word to his neighbors, shares his testimony to all who are willing to hear, and encourages young people to follow God. He has also gained wisdom that allows him to discern when old influences are too strong and when he should simply avoid company that may lead him away from the Lord and back to his former life.
Much of Freddie’s time is spent these days as a volunteer of the BIYAHE Jail Ministry. He is also leading a discipleship group of his own, attends CCF’s Global Leadership Center Level 3 classes, and regularly still meets with Pastor Danny alongside other former inmates who have devoted their lives to Jesus. Moreover, among his top priorities is making up for lost time with his family. He is now shepherding his wife, whom he had wooed back after coming to faith in Christ, as well as his children and grandchildren, that they too may follow Jesus and live as His disciples.
Freddie holds fast to two verses that have become especially close to his heart. The first, Hebrews 11:1, says,
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
The second is Romans 10:11, which says,
Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.
Note: This post, based on an interview with Kuya Freddie in December 2014, was originally meant as a volunteer profile to be featured in Christ Commission Fellowship’s Move magazine.

Louisiana Sea Grant Recipient of Marine Debris Grants
Louisiana Sea Grant (LSG) is the recipient of $595,000 in grants from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Sea Grant office to address the prevention and removal of marine debris. The two projects are:
Data-Driven, Community-Centered Marine Debris Prevention and Mitigation
Federal funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) totals $295,748.
Summary: The project is designed to empower community members (students, teachers, businesses and local leaders) in dialogue and stewardship on the removal and prevention of marine debris from Louisiana’s Barataria, Pontchartrain and Terrebonne basins—communities disproportionately impacted by pollution and historically marginalized. By focusing on Title I schools, Consider Litter will build a network of visible and diverse community stewards who can monitor litter in their communities and compile data that can help inform resulting prevention/mitigation projects. The principal investigator is Dani DiIullo, LSG education and engagement director, and the project is being coordinated in partnership with the Pontchartrain Conservancy.
Fostering Community Partnership and Understanding Financial Vulnerabilities to Reduce Marine Debris and Enhance Louisiana’s Resilience to Disaster
Federal funding from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) totals $299,638.
Summary: The project is designed to improve awareness of the issues surrounding storm-transported litter in Louisiana. Trainings with the Financial Debris Management Simulation tool will help municipalities with underrepresented populations understand their financial vulnerability to storm events in terms of clean-up costs. Additionally, youth and community outreach will ed
ucate on the consequences of litter/marine debris and promote environmental stewardship through clean-up activities. Project lead is Julie Lively, LSG executive director.
“Litter is such a pervasive problem across Louisiana, and is very easy to become marine debris, especially after all the tropical storms and heavy rain events we see,” said Lively. “This is a great opportunity to combine research, education and extension with communities to improve the situation.“
NOAA Sea Grant awarded a total of $27 million in marine debris projects throughout the United States. Projects were competitively selected through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and leveraging funds from the Inflation Reduction Act: The Marine Debris Challenge Competition and The Marine Debris Community Action Coalitions.
“The work supported by these projects presents exciting opportunities to tackle a wide range of debris issues, such as microplastics, single-use food packaging and derelict fishing gear, using an assortment of innovative approaches informed by and implemented with communities” said Jonathan Pennock, director of NOAA’s National Sea Grant College Program.
The full list of Marine Debris Challenge (BIL) projects and descriptions is available here. And the full list of Marine Debris Community Action Coalitions (IRA) projects and descriptions is available here.
This work is a component of nearly $3 billion in targeted investments for NOAA in the areas of habitat restoration, coastal resilience and weather forecasting infrastructure through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to help America build resilience to climate change. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is a federal government-wide investment that furthers NOAA’s efforts to build a Climate-Ready Nation. The law’s investment in NOAA – with funding leveraged from the Inflation Reduction Act – will help to meet the needs of a nation that is ready for and resilient to climate change. The projects announced represent Sea Grant’s starting efforts to support marine debris prevention and removal over the next five years through this legislation.

Cape Town Mayor inspects City’s Winter Readiness Programme
Executive Mayor of Cape Town, Geordin Hill-Lewis, visited Vrygrond on Thursday to inspect the City’s Winter Readiness Programme
Hill-Lewis says before the end of June, the City’s Sanitation teams will jet clean 100 kilometres of pipe in the most flood-prone parts of the metro.
In his budget speech earlier this year, Hill-Lewis said R10 million will be allocated to increase bed capacity at NGO-run shelters for the homeless. He added that The City’s Care Programme to help people get off the streets has been increased to R77 million for the 2022/2023 financial year.
The mayor is urging residents to do their part by protecting stormwater infrastructure and by being aware of the risks of building structures below the winter flood lines.
‘’I joined in this awareness campaign today (Thursday), loudhailing in the Vrygrond area to get the winter readiness message out. In winter there are a number of areas and roads that get flooded, especially in low-lying areas, and where stormwater inlets and infrastructure are blocked.’’
‘’The City is acting proactively to try to alleviate the effects of this flooding. We call on residents to please also play their part by ensuring that they do not burden our stormwater system with the dumping of waste in the infrastructure,’’ he added.
Additionally, over the long-term significant investment will be made on water and sanitation infrastructure - with R1,6 billion this coming financial year alone.
This amount includes R406 million for the replacement of the Cape Flats Main Sewer, R755 million for the replacement and upgrading of pipes in our sewer network, and R300 million for the replacement and upgrading of pipes on our water network. We will double our pipe replacement to 50 kilometres this year, and in 2023 we will double it again to 100 kilometres. We will spend four times more than we did last year on pipe replacement.
At the instruction of the Mayor, the City has also formulated a sewer spill reduction plan. An additional amount of approximately R152 million was allocated for sewer line jetting and over-pumping. We have also allocated:
R30 million for the procurement of additional new vehicles for fleet expansion. This includes: six 10 ton tipper with crane and grab, four combination (vacuum and jet combined) units, jet trucks and one vacuum tanker, and six water tankers.
The water tankers will help provide drinking water to communities when needed, while the other vehicles will help deal with clearing sewer blockages.
R41 million to replace additional sewer and water pipes.
The City has the following tips for the public about how they can help to reduce flood risks:
· Clear out drainage systems on properties
· Raise the floor level of a structure so that it is higher than the natural ground level
· Make sandbags
· Dig trenches around the house to divert water away from the house
· Report blocked drains, intakes and illegal dumping – illegal dumping in the stormwater canals and sewers make flooding worst.
· Don’t dump illegally, rather use the City’s solid waste services to get rid of waste or take their recyclables, garden greens and builders rubble to our drop-off facilities.
· Check for illegal stormwater-to-sewer cross-connections on your properties, where water is chanelled from roofs, gutters, and paved or hard yard surface areas into sewer drains. Ingress of rainwater and items such as litter, material, builders rubble, fats, sanitary ware, cause sewers to overflow especially when it rains.
· Waterproof roofs, clear gutters and remove dead tree branches
· Do not leave an open flame unattended as the risk of fires during winter especially is significant.
In an emergency or flooding:
Call the City’s Public Emergency Communication Centre on 107 from a landline or 021 480 7700 from a cellphone.
The City of Cape Town will do everything possible to ensure we navigate the winter season as safely as possible, and protect life and property.

The Melaka Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has met former chief minister Idris Haron to obtain information about his allegations regarding the issue of economic project monopoly and sand royalty payments in the state.
Its director Mohd Shahril Che Saad said the meeting which was held yesterday started at 3pm and lasted for about two hours.
“We have obtained some information related to the allegations and received good cooperation (from Idris).
“It’s more about gathering preliminary information related to the allegations. The information has also been sent to the MACC headquarters to be analysed and for further action,” he told reporters after the Melaka state-level MACC’s 54th anniversary celebration today.
Idris recently claimed that there were several Umno leaders in the state who had been monopolising economic projects and cheating the federal government on sand royalties, causing him to withdraw his support for the Melaka government.

Business news, also referred to as economic or financial journalism, is the reporting of commercial activities and changes in society. The subject matter of this type of journalism can be found in newspapers, magazines, radio and television-news shows.
The word “business” means the exchange of goods or services in order to earn money. This is the basis of all business, whether it be a small scale family business or a large corporation with hundreds of employees.
Some businesses seek profits in the form of revenue while others focus on social goals. Some are state-owned and some may be public companies listed on the stock market.
A business is a company that produces, buys and sells goods or services to generate income for its owners and shareholders. It is not limited to profit-making enterprises but can also include non-profit organizations, charitable ventures and government agencies.
One of the most important criteria for a company to be considered a business is that it must have an organized structure. This means that all members must have a common goal and they must work together to achieve it.
It is also important for a business to have a clear strategy and objectives. This is essential to help ensure that everyone knows what is expected of them, and how they can play a role in the overall success of the company.
Choosing the right business to start can be challenging, but it is vital that you choose something that you have a passion for. This will help you avoid the pitfalls that can occur when a company becomes unfocused or loses its way.
The best business to start is one that offers a unique service or product that cannot be replicated by others in the same industry. This will allow you to stand out from your competitors and be successful in the long run.
Another key ingredient to a successful business is a strong management team. The right manager will guide the company through the tough times and help it thrive in the future.
For example, a good management team will know when to cut costs and when to invest in new initiatives that will make the business more profitable in the long run. They will also know how to communicate with the rest of the organization and ensure that everyone is on the same page. The right managers will also be able to set a strong vision and values that reflect the company’s core beliefs.

Biomarker-driven cancer therapy, also referred to as precision oncology, has received increasing attention for its promise of improving patient outcomes by defining subsets of patients more likely to respond to various therapies.
In this collaborative review article, we examine recent literature regarding biomarker-driven therapeutics in urologic oncology, to better define the state of the field, explore the current evidence supporting utility of this approach, and gauge potential for the future.
We reviewed relevant literature, with a particular focus on recent studies about targeted therapy, predictors of response, and biomarker development.
The recent advances in molecular profiling have led to a rapid expansion of potential biomarkers and predictive information for patients with urologic malignancies. Across disease states, distinct molecular subtypes of cancers have been identified, with the potential to inform choices of management strategy. Biomarkers predicting response to standard therapies (such as platinum-based chemotherapy) are emerging. In several malignancies (particularly renal cell carcinoma and castration-resistant prostate cancer), targeted therapy against commonly altered signaling pathways has emerged as standard of care. Finally, targeted therapy against alterations present in rare patients (less than 2%) across diseases has the potential to drastically alter patterns of care and choices of therapeutic options.
Precision medicine has the highest potential to impact the care of patients. Prospective studies in the setting of clinical trials and standard of care therapy will help define reliable predictive biomarkers and new therapeutic targets leading to real improvement in patient outcomes.
Precision oncology uses molecular information (DNA and RNA) from the individual and the tumor to match the right patient with the right treatment. Tremendous strides have been made in defining the molecular underpinnings of urologic malignancies and understanding how these predict response to treatment—this represents the future of urologic oncology.
Keywords: Precision Medicine, Mutations, Sequencing, Genomics.
The past decade has seen an explosion of therapeutic options in urologic oncology, across multiple cancer types. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients now have options of tyrosine kinase inhibitors, mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors, and immunotherapy agents. The prostate cancer field has seen the approval of over half a dozen novel agents in the past few years, as well as shifting paradigms regarding the temporal sequencing of agents and . Urothelial carcinoma, in addition to defining subsets of patients with best response to standard of care chemotherapeutic options, appears poised for novel agents to make meaningful impact as well. Clearly, this is an exciting time to be in urologic oncology, as there is more promise and hope for our patients than ever before.
Each novel therapy improves outcomes compared with previous generations of standard therapy, but unfortunately, the recent improvements in patient survival can be described as incremental rather than transformative. However, defined subsets of patients respond well to each therapy, and it is likely that these subsets of responders are not the same for all different therapeutic options. The example of trastuzumab (Herceptin) in breast cancer treatment may serve as a model for successful development of precision medicine approaches. Trastuzumab was the first rationally designed targeted therapy for solid tumors, based on the discovery that some breast cancers have a high degree of amplification of Her2/neu, and that these cancers are associated with worse prognosis . Development of the drug from bench to approval spanned 13 yr—and it has now been responsible for a dramatic change in outcome for women for this subtype of breast cancer.
In urologic oncology, now comes the challenge of taking these diverse therapeutic opportunities, and finding ways to match the right therapy with the right patient: the paradigm of precision medicine. In this review we will explore the history, challenges, and opportunities inherent in this process, and explore the future of biomarker-driven therapeutics in urologic oncology (Fig. 1).
Landscape of precision urologic oncology. Relevant biological pathways, therapeutic targets, and therapies are highlighted for prostate cancer (left), urothelial cancer (center), and renal cell carcinoma (right). Therapeutics are outlined in red; biological pathways and targets are shown in yellow. Immunotherapy approaches using checkpoint inhibitors (top) may be applicable across disease histologies, with the most current evidence in renal and urothelial cancer.
AR = androgen receptor; CTLA-4 = cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4; mTOR = mechanistic target of rapamycin; PD-1 = programmed cell death protein 1; PDGF = platelet-derived growth factor; PD-L1 = programmed death-ligand 1; TKIs = tyrosine kinase inhibitors; VEGF = vascular endothelial growth factor.
Biomarker-driven therapy can refer to multiple approaches to patient stratification and selection of management strategies. First, this can refer to classic targeted therapy, in which a specific gene product serves as both the biomarker and the target of therapeutic action—HER2 overexpression in breast cancer, or BRAF mutations in melanoma, are classic examples . Secondly, biomarkers may distinguish patients that are preferentially sensitive (or resistant) to standard therapeutic options, even though these specific biomarkers are not targets themselves (such as triple negative breast cancer or KRAS mutated colorectal cancers). Finally, distinct subclasses of cancers may respond in fundamentally different manners to various therapeutic interventions—many such subclasses may be identifiable using histologic criteria, but others may only be exposed using specific molecular biomarkers. We will review these concepts across urologic oncology in a relatively disease-specific manner. In addition, we will also discuss issues that apply more universally, across multiple malignancies and multiple signaling pathways. These include concepts of utilizing biomarker-driven stratification to determine sequencing of different therapeutic options, implications of tumor heterogeneity for biomarker-driven therapeutics, and the impact of novel approaches such an immunotherapy.
The foundations this field is based upon have undergone major advances with the advent of novel technologies for molecular profiling of tumor and patient tissue, including next-generation sequencing of DNA and RNA, improved understanding and profiling of epigenetics, and advanced proteomic analysis. Biomarkers can be defined using DNA sequencing (targeted or unbiased exome/genome-wide approaches), transcriptome profiling (RNA-sequencing or microarray-based gene expression), and in-situ techniques like immunohistochemistry or RNA in-situ hybridization to define protein and expression and localization and . Application of these technologies, including systematic studies as part of the International Cancer Genome Consortium and The Cancer Genome Atlas projects, has led to a massive expansion of the catalog of known alterations in urologic oncology, the starting point for defining biomarkers with real relevance for clinical care.
2. Evidence acquisition
Medline and Google Scholar searches were conducted to identify original articles, review articles, editorials, and presented abstracts addressing biomarker driven therapeutics in urologic malignancies. Keywords included “biomarker,” “targeted therapy,” “predictors of response,” “therapy resistance,” and “heterogeneity.” We limited our initial search to studies and investigations published from January 2005 to January 2016. References cited in selected articles and in review articles retrieved in our search were also used to identify manuscripts that were not included in the initial search. Links to related articles and cross-reading of citations in related articles were surveyed. The articles that provided the highest level of evidence were then evaluated and selected with the consensus of authors. A total of 103 articles were reviewed. This collaborative review is the result of an interactive peer-reviewing process by the panel of coauthors.
3. Evidence synthesis
3.1. Targeted therapies in urologic oncology
3.1.1. Androgen signaling in prostate cancer
The oldest form of targeted therapy in urology (and perhaps in all of oncology) came with the recognition that ablation of androgens via surgical castration resulted in regression of advanced prostate cancer. Although not often thought of as targeted therapy, the dependence of prostate cancer on androgen signaling forms the basis of the historical and current approach to advanced prostate cancer, with androgen ablation representing the mainstay of treatment for the disease. The more recent discovery that castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) largely maintains its dependency on androgen signaling further underscores the central importance of this signaling axis, and multiple novel therapeutics rely on improved targeting of androgen signaling over and beyond that which can be achieved using surgical castration or convention androgen-deprivation therapy approaches. These include further reductions of androgen production by targeting synthetic enzymes such as CYP17, the target of abiraterone acetate (Zytiga), and improved inhibition of the androgen receptor itself (enzalutamide/Xtandi, ARN-509/apalutamide) and downstream effects on transcription, proliferation, and survival of prostate cancer cells. These approaches have been reviewed elsewhere and .
A critical question for these next-generation antiandrogen agents going forward is determining the patients that will most benefit from their use. Deregulation of the androgen signaling axis is common in prostate cancer , and alterations in the AR gene itself become highly prevalent in CRPC . These include amplification of the AR gene, point mutations, and splice variants. The impact of these alterations on response to antiandrogen therapy remains unclear, and this is a major focus of ongoing clinical and preclinical investigation.
Mutations and gene amplifications in the AR gene itself have long been known to emerge and promote resistance in the setting of conventional androgen ablation , , and . However, implications of these genomic events for patient response to newer agents like enzalutamide and abiraterone are less clear, and data has only recently begun to emerge. Several studies suggest that AR amplification and mutation are more common in patients progressing on these therapies compared with responders , and there are suggestions that amplification of AR can predict response to both enzalutamide and abiraterone and . Preclinical models have shown that constitutively active, truncated androgen receptor splice variants can continue to drive androgen signaling in CRPC cells, and that this activity can promote resistance to enzalutamide . Clinical studies have also reported that the presence of one such androgen receptor splice variant in circulating tumor cells from patients with CRPC is correlated with resistance to second-generation androgen targeting agents , and may emerge during therapy . Across all these questions, larger, rigorously conductive clinical studies and correlative genomic analysis will be necessary to provide definitive answers.
3.1.2. Neuroendocrine prostate cancer
A subset of CRPC transitions from AR dependence to an AR indifferent state. These CRPC-neuroendocrine cancers have been also referred to as neuroendocrine prostate cancer and anaplastic cancer and . This is a highly aggressive form of CRPC that may emerge in the setting of prolonged androgen-targeting therapy . Improved characterization of this entity at the clinical, histological, and molecular level is ongoing . Currently there are no standard approaches to treating CRPC-neuroendocrine cancers, which are associated with a mean 7-mo survival time. Several groups have now reported altered signaling pathways that may represent therapeutic target options. These include engagement of N-myc signaling and upregulation of aurora kinase A —importantly, aurora kinase A is a druggable target, with clinical trials ongoing. Such studies may define the paradigm of bedside to bench to bedside medicine that can represent the hallmark of biomarker-driven therapy (Table 1).

3.1.3. RCC—the VHL/hypoxia inducible factor pathway
RCCs represent a diverse collection of histological subtypes, each with specific subsets of underlying molecular alterations. Clear cell RCC (ccRCC), the most common and among the most aggressive histological variant, is highly associated with inactivation of the tumor suppressor VHL. The VHL gene undergoes inactivation via point mutations, genomic deletions, and gene methylation in ccRCC. The VHL protein normally promotes ubiquitination and degradation of hypoxia inducible factors (HIFs) such as HIF1α and HIF2α, transcription factors that act as key regulators of the hypoxic response. Inactivation of VHL in RCC leads to increased HIFα expression, and increased activation of targets genes such as VEGF and PDGF.
Because of the universality of VHL inactivation and activation of the HIF/vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathways in RCC, interference with downstream effects of HIF (in particular VEGF and PDGF signaling) emerged as a major focus of drug development and clinical research over the past decade. Approved agents targeting these pathways include bevacizumab (Avastin), a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds VEGF, and orally active inhibitors targeting multiple tyrosine kinases and growth factor receptors (including VEGFR and PDGFR signaling)—these include sorafenib (Nexavar), sunitinib (Sutent), pazopanib (Votrient), and axitinib (Inlyta). The early trials employing bevacizumab demonstrated proof of principle in human patients that agents inhibiting VEGF signaling could significantly alter tumor progression in RCC and . Since then, antitumor activity of these agents has been well established in a series of phase 3 clinical trials, with improvement in both progression-free and overall survival , , , , and . However, molecular predictors of response to these agents remain unclear. Alterations in the VHL-VEGF signaling axis do not perfectly correlate with response . These agents also have activity in nonclear cell histologies of RCC, which classically do not display genomic alterations in these signaling pathways. Clearly, ongoing research has the potential to identify markers that may allow substratification of RCC patients to individualized treatment regimens.
3.1.4. RCC—mTOR Signaling
mTOR is an intracellular kinase that acts as a signaling node in the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-kinase)/Akt pathway, and functions to coordinate a number of cellular events surrounding growth and energy sensing and regulation, including regulation of protein translation, degradation, and signaling. Like VHL inactivation and upregulation of hypoxia transcriptional programs, activation of the mTOR/PI3K pathway is common in RCC . Genomic alterations in this pathway are relatively uncommon when estimated from a single tumor sample, with mutations in genes such as MTOR, TSC1, PIK3CA, and PTEN occurring in less than 10% of RCC patients . However, assessment of tumor heterogeneity in RCC and definition of tumor evolution using phylogenetic trees has helped reshape biological understanding and clinical implications of these findings. It is increasingly clear that somatic mutations in the mTOR pathway display clear evidence of intratumor heterogeneity, commonly occurring in some tumor subclones but not others. Somatic mutations in this pathway therefore occur later in tumor evolution than VHL and 3p loss of heterozygosity. Tumor sampling bias inherent to such intratumor heterogeneity hinders approaches to define activation of the mTOR pathway in order to guide therapy and . Inhibitors of mTOR signaling are currently used as standard options for poor risk RCC patients. Initial trials showed activity of temsirolimus in RCC, improving both PFS and OS compared with interferon-α and . Further analyses suggested activity in both ccRCC and other subtypes, and temsirolimus was subsequently approved for therapy of advanced RCC. The oral agent everolimus was shown to improve survival compared with placebo in patients with progressive disease after tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy , and is currently being evaluated as an adjuvant therapy for patients at increased risk for progression following radical nephrectomy (NCT 01120249). These mTOR-directed therapies continue to be a mainstay of the armentarium in advanced RCC. In addition, mTOR inhibition has emerged as a standard therapy in renal angiomyolipoma and , consistent with the critical role of the tuberous sclerosis complex-mTOR pathway in the pathogenesis of these lesions .
3.1.5. Targeted therapy—conclusions
In general, the targeted agents described above—in both prostate cancer and RCC examples—improve patient survival compared with prior generations of therapy, while at the same time displaying milder toxicity profiles. However, they do not represent curative therapies—complete responses are highly uncommon, and the survival advantages displayed are measured in months, not years. Additional studies and clinical trials are still needed to improve current practice and better understand predictors of response, sequencing of agents, and comparative efficacy of the current agents.
3.2. Predictors of response to standard of care therapies
The definition of biomarkers that can predict the success or failure of standard of care therapies is one of the most important areas of active research in urologic oncology. This has the potential for major impact on patients’ lives by enriching treated patients for those likely to respond, improving the overall response rates for therapies with limited response rates overall (but dramatic response in a subset of patients), and allowing patients with a low likelihood of response to move on to other lines of treatment or to clinical trials.
3.2.1. Predictors of response to platinum chemotherapy in urothelial cancer
Perhaps the most impressive recent example of this paradigm in urology is predictors of response to platinum chemotherapy in urothelial cancer. Level I evidence supports the utility of platinum-based chemotherapy regimens in the metastatic and neoadjuvant settings and . In the neoadjuvant setting, methotrexate, vinblastine, Adriamycin, and cisplatin and other regimens have shown improved overall survival compared with radical cystectomy alone and . However, the absolute increase in overall survival is small (about 5% at 5 yr) based on meta-analyses , , and , leading many to question the general application of the neoadjuvant approach to all patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer . Importantly, patients who show complete response of the primary tumor (pT0N0 at cystectomy) appear to have the most major benefit in terms of overall survival.
It is clear that not all patients benefit from cisplatin-containing chemotherapy regimens, and morbidity is not trivial, but a minority of patients has a striking (and possibly curative) response. Therefore, defining the subset of patients and tumors likely to respond could have major impact . Many studies in the past have examined candidate predictive biomarkers for cisplatin response—results have been mixed, and despite decades of research, no biomarkers to date have shown adequate predictive value to be currently utilized in the clinic . However, the recent advent of next-generation technologies for unbiased, genome-wide molecular profiling of cancers has renewed hope for defining these biomarkers.
Van Allen and colleagues performed whole-exome sequencing on pretreatment muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma from a defined set of patients with either a complete pathologic response/residual carcinoma in situ only or persistent muscle invasive cancer following cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy. They identified somatic mutations in ERCC2, a component of the nucleotide excision repair system, as occurring preferentially in responders. Similarly, Plimack et al showed that lesions in DNA repair genes ATM, RB1, and FANCC predicted pathologic response to neoadjuvant cisplatin. Others have reported alterations in genes affecting other DNA repair pathways as potentially important for prognosis, reinforcing this theme and .
Other studies have revealed different potential biomarkers of response to platinum-based chemotherapy regimens. Utilizing targeted sequencing of urothelial carcinoma (muscle invasive and metastatic tumors) from patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy regimens, Groenendijk and colleagues reported that ERBB2 mutations were associated with improved response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The Southwest Oncology Group has initiated an intergroup clinical trial to validate the COXEN algorithm as a predictive marker for response to neaodjuvant chemotherapy prior to radical cystectomy (NCT 02177695). If validated, a phase 3 trial will be initiated to evaluate COXEN-directed neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Finally, distinct subtypes of bladder cancer have also been identified at the molecular level, including basal and luminal subtypes (similar to breast cancer) and a chemoresistant subtype with a distinct signature of p53 activation . Heterogeneity at the level of tumor itself, stage of disease, patient characteristics, and treatment variability, complicate interpretation of these studies across cohorts, and necessitate extensive validation in well-annotated and more homogeneous patient cohorts. Further prospective data will be necessary to integrate all these findings, and most importantly, define the true clinical utility of any markers in practice.
3.2.2. CRPC and DNA repair in prostate cancer
A recent landmark study exposes the molecular underpinnings of CRPC and provides unprecedented insight to biology and mechanisms of therapy resistance in this disease. The SU2C/PCF Prostate Dream Team performed comprehensive molecular characterization of the metastatic tumors in 150 men with CRPC, revealing a high degree of actionable events, including frequent alterations in AR and PI3K signaling . Furthermore, nearly 20% of CRPC samples harbored somatic genomic lesions in components of DNA repair pathways (such as BRCA2, BRCA1, and ATM). This is especially timely given the recent emergence of polyadenosine diphosphate ribose polymerase inhibitors as therapeutic options for patients with DNA repair deficient cancers. A phase 2 trial of the polyadenosine diphosphate ribose polymerase inihibitor olaparib in metastatic CRPC showed patient responses specifically associated with defects in DNA repair pathways , with further trials ongoing. Platinum agents are reported to have similar activity in this patient population . Furthermore, emerging data also suggest that CRPC patients have a surprising prevalence of germline defects in DNA repair genes (eg, BRCA carriers), expanding the potential impact .
Urologic malignancies have a relatively long history of successful treatment with agents modulating the immune response to tumors. These include the standard of care use of bacillus Calmette-Guérin in urothelial cancer, and application of agents such as IL-2 and interferon in the armamentarium against RCC and . Interestingly, like many therapies, there appears to be specific subsets of patients with robust and often durable responses to these agents , , and . Newer approaches that have focused on the inhibition of immune checkpoint molecules that can restrict antitumor immune responses have also shown promise. Therapy targeting the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 T-cell checkpoint receptor (eg, ipilumimab) has shown some suggestion of response in prostate cancer clinical trials. In RCC, limited human trials have shown potentially impressive response rates using agents targeting the programmed cell death protein-1/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) interaction . Both anticytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 and programmed cell death protein-1/PD-L1 therapy are under active investigation in urothelial carcinoma, with promising results —perhaps most exciting, responses in patients are often early, durable, and associated with expression of targeted relevant biomarkers (eg, PD-L1). These studies focusing on immunotherapy in urologic malignancy have been extensively reviewed elsewhere; the potential to define predictive biomarkers for these classes of agents remains an active area of investigation and . These approaches target the adaptive immune response and there are also other efforts targeting the innate immune response that may help develop better responses in nonresponders in combination with adaptive approaches.
3.4. Lessons from outlier responders
Exceptional responders—those patients whose cancers have an unusually robust and positive response to specific agents—can inform the biology of these diseases, highlight pathways for intervention, and define biomarkers for prediction of a therapeutic response. This approach has yielded results. In urothelial carcinoma, genome sequencing revealed that a patient with an exceptional response to everolimus harbored mutations in the mTOR and NF genes. These alterations were subsequently shown to impact the response of cancer cells to everolimus, nominating these alterations as potential biomarkers of response to mTOR inhibition . Similarly, a patient with metastatic prostate cancer with exceptional response to cisplatin (after suggestion of small cell morphology) was shown to have inactivation of the FANCA gene, a key component of DNA repair pathways modulating response to platinum-based chemotherapeutics . These reports, while anecdotal in nature, underscore the potential utility in gaining mechanistic insight and defining predictive markers from outlier responders. Such reports also highlight another challenge—given that rare subsets of patients may respond exceptionally well to therapies that may be ineffective in a population as a whole, how do we establish the definition of a negative clinical trial? In the absence of pre-existing genomic information, the tails of negative trials, consisting of the most robust responders in the population, may harbor informative information regarding predictive biomarkers.
This idea has real importance as the field of precision medicine evolves in urologic oncology. Many distinct, legitimately targetable alterations, with currently available therapeutics of proven efficacy, exist in urologic malignancies. However, they may be exceptionally rare, and occur in only a few percent of patients, and across different types of malignancies rather than enriched in one type. Furthermore, consideration should be given to the clonal structure of the tumor and when the targetable somatic alteration occurs during the course of tumor evolution . Targetable somatic alterations occurring early on in tumor evolution, within the trunk of the tumor's evolutionary tree, present in every cancer cell, may provide more robust biomarkers of tumor response than alterations such as the mTOR pathway in ccRCC; however, these are subject to tumor sampling bias, usually occurring within a cancer subclone, present in some tumor regions but not others . It should also be borne in mind that large-scale alterations in whole or parts of chromosomes that are currently refractory to contemporary targeted therapy strategies, can also drive tumor progression. For instance, in papillary renal cancer driver gene mutations are often subclonal alterations, in contrast to large-scale chromosomal alterations that were found to be clonal in nature .
Now that comprehensive molecular profiling is available on multiple urologic malignancies, through The Cancer Genome Atlas, International Cancer Genome Consortium, and other efforts, clear examples of rare but clinically important alterations are emerging. Amplifications, activating mutations, and gene fusions in the kinase BRAF (a common driver in melanoma and other cancers) occur in roughly 1–5% of prostate cancers—these may be targetable with currently available inhibitors , , , and . Amplifications and mutations in ERRB2, encoding the growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase HER2/neu, are present in about 10% of muscle invasive bladder cancers , , and —these cancers may be susceptible to trastuzumab (Herceptin). Mutations in the epigenetic modifying enzyme IDH1, one of the most common mutations in gliomas, occur in about 1% of prostate cancers and . IDH1 mutation also represents an attractive target for therapy, with promising preclinical data . These are just a few examples of alterations that have high promise as therapeutic targets, but are identified in only a small minority of patients. Highlighting the potential of this approach, the National Cancer Institute has embarked on the Exceptional Responders Initiative, a bedside to bench genomic approach to define the molecular underpinnings of rare but exceptional patient responses.
This raises an obvious concern: how can we possibly study a biomarker or target that occurs in only 1% of a given population? Understanding how to rigorously evaluate comparative treatment efficacy and patient responses in this new paradigm will be a critical challenge, given the limited number of patients with any one disease that may have the alterations of interest. One approach to this that has been suggested and now implemented is the idea of the basket trial—a novel form of clinical trial design that has emerged to meet the needs of the genomics era. The hypothesis underlying basket trials is that the molecular marker will predict tumor response to specific therapies across disease types. Such trials have generated considerable interest because they incorporate current information about genomics and precision medicine while promising the ability to identify favorable responses to targeted therapy with a relatively small number of patients. The National Cancer Institute Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice trial is one prominent example of this approach. However, these come with their own unique limitations, including the need for prospectively collected, detailed (and expensive) molecular profiling data. In addition, the potential success of each basket trial is likely inextricably linked to the reliability of the target or marker in question and the specific therapy utilized. Unfortunately, not all therapies will hit the target in all cancer types, and not all cancers may respond the same way to effective blockade of all pathways. These complicating factors will likely continue force the evolution of clinical trial design.
Major advances have been made in cataloguing the genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and epigenetic alterations across urologic malignances. We have an improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying these diseases, and therapies aiming to leverage this knowledge continue to emerge. Critical steps going forward will be to refine the list of truly predictive biomarkers and therapeutic targets, and evaluate their impact in real-world clinical settings. The continuing evolution of clinical trial design must proceed with this process, as evaluation of novel agents, with novel predictors will require novel approaches to define the population to be treated, and define efficacy in that population.

Air accumulations which occur particularly in pump outlets when water is delivered to pump outlets and pipe lines and makes water flow area narrower and causes decrease in capacity. This product is used to protect the pump and the system and to discharge the air for more efficient operation of the system. Single spherical and double spherical models are available. Generally, single-ball vacuum lifter are used for the air capacity. Double spherical vacuum lifter are preferred when very high efficiency is required for the system.
• Drainage of air entering the pipe when filling the pipeline with fluid,
• Large amount of inlet air discharged in the pipe, during the discharge of the fluid inside the pipeline
• Evacuation of air bubbles with fluid in dynamic working conditions
• Single sphere-kinetic type, single-spherical-dynamic type, double orifice combined type and self-propelled double-spherical vacuum lifter can be used according to place
• Provides protection against lock with high air output.

Geek Vape Athena
The Athena from Geek Vape is one of the latest squonking mods to come out of the Far East, and since its very recent release there has been plenty of positive feedback around forums and social media on this mod!
Designed to be a compact, lightweight and powerful squonking mod, the Athena has also been designed with price in mind to offer a quality squonking experience with a low price point!
There has been a raft of budget squonker releases over the past couple of months, taking advantage of the fast growing demand for squonkers, which I believe is only a good thing as it drives the cost down and offers more choice to the consumer. Does the Athena have what it takes to stand out from the crowd? Let’s have a look...
- Powerful mechanical squonking mod
- Aluminium construction
- 73mm x 46mm x 25mm dimensions
- Spring loaded 510 connector
- Large fire button
- Auto adjusting 510 connector to accept a wide variety of BF RDAs and reduce leakage
- Safety locking switch
- Compatible with a single 18650 battery
- 6.5ml capacity bottles
- Silicone and PE bottles included

Inside the Geek Vape Athena box you get the Athena Mod itself, a PE squonking bottle, a soft feel silicone squonking bottle and a user manual. You can also purchase a bundle that includes the new Geek Vape Athena RDA.
Geek Vape Athena
When I first removed the Geek Vape Athena from the box, I was immediately taken aback by its looks! I feel that this is a great looking mod, which aesthetically really appeals to me. The engraving on the front and rear doors has been tastefully done, and a cool Greek styled design is present around the 510 connector. Both the front and rear doors can be removed to access the squonking bottle and to remove your battery easily, with magnets holding the doors in place.
A large firing button is found at the side, ringed with gold plating, and a reasonable amount of throw is present. I find the button to be pretty springy and responsive, and it’s quite enjoyable to use! A safety locking switch is located underneath the fire button, you simply push this up to lock the fire button and prevent accidental misfires, or push it down to unlock it and use.
On top of the Athena is a spring loaded 510 connector, which auto adjusts to the length of your RDA’s 510 connector, this also helps to reduce leakage from the connector. The Geek Vape Athena can happily accept RDAs up to 25mm in width without any overhang.
The Geek Vape Athena is a mechanical squonking mod, and as such I have found that it performs best with coil builds in the 0.2-0.3ohm region. I personally prefer to use coils made with Nichrome or SS316L with mechanical squonkers, due to the fast ramp up time I get.
I have found that when I do use low resistance coil builds, I get great performance from this mod, that is pretty much on par with some of the more higher priced mechanical squonkers I have owned. Silver plated contacts are used with the Geek Vape Athena, which helps to reduce voltage drop. As this is a mechanical squonker no safety features are built in, so please do build your coils within the limits of your battery and ensure you have a good knowledge of Ohms Law. Always check your builds for any potential short circuits before using them on a mechanical mod!
Two 6.5ml bottles are included with the Geek Vape Athena, mine came with a PE bottle already installed and a soft feel silicone bottle as a spare. The capacity of these bottles is more than enough to keep most users going when out and about. Unfortunately I didn’t think much of either of the bottles, the PE bottle feels cheap and the soft feel silicone bottle required plenty of squeezing to feed E-Liquid up and into my RDA! Thankfully Squonk bottles are cheap and plentiful on the market these days, so I would recommend looking around for a replacement.
Squonk bottles aside, I feel that the Geek Vape Athena is a great little budget mechanical squonking mod that is well worth the money! It’s a mod that looks great and feels lovely in hand, with little voltage drop experienced, and it’s a great choice for those that enjoy using low resistance coil builds!

Take a deep breath, lay back, relax, and let Dounya and Hadya pamper you.
At the entrance of Kherbet Daoud - Akkar, in Salon Bella we sat with two enthusiastic, passionate, and eager young ladies; Dounya Mahmoud & Hadya Kanjo. In their beauty salon, the two took us back in time to the days they first dreamt about opening and operating their own beauty salon, "ومن أنا وزغيره حلمي كان إفتح صالون", said Dounya.
Dounya is a 22 year old young lady from Kherbet Daoud, who entered the world of beauty and makeup when she was only 14 years old. She started her journey by studying makeup art in a beauty academy. Then, for about 6 years, she got trained and worked at a professional salon in Halba. Hadya is a 20 year old young lady, who studied Accounting, but found her heart lingering to another life path. For long, she loved beauty and hairdressing.
For the love of brushes and chasing their forever-fetched dream, Dounya and Hadya applied together to the Generation of Innovation Leaders - GIL project implemented by INJAZ Lebanon. Although their passion was always pushing them forward, the two young ladies reflect that they were never financially or psychologically ready to take this step and to open their own business and own beauty salon. Dounya and Hayda also told us that it was not until they joined the GIL trainings, that they got pushed and triggered by their trainer to believe in themselves and in their capabilities, that they started to think they can actually make it; contrary to what they and the people around them used to believe, comments the two ladies.
Today, after completing their incubation, the two young ladies stand tall in their beauty salon that offers you tens of services. A cherry on top of that, and in order to better operate and expand their business, in partnership with UNRWA Dounya and Hadya are offering free hairdressing and makeup applying training sessions to other young underprivileged ladies in the area.To add, the two ladies will integrate evening dresses shop in their salon.
Join us in a virtual visit to Salon Bella where you get to meet Dounya and Hadya. Never forget to share your love and support with them!
All thanks go to UNICEF Lebanon and the Embassy of the Netherlands in Lebanon for supporting and funding; respectively, the GIL project INJAZ Lebanon is implementing across various labs in the North and Bekaa.Back to Blog

Wild Steelheaders United is working to increase the number of officially recognized anadromous streams by using community science – going to select Tongass National Forest watersheds and surveying the area for steelhead.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
Today, 70 percent of the major steelhead populations in Oregon, Idaho, Washington and California require federal protection and opportunities to catch wild steelhead have diminished dramatically in many rivers.
The Initiative and associated group, Wild Steelheaders United, is a new, organized way for anglers (regardless of whether a person fishes gear or fly, bait or lure) to become more informed about wild steelhead biology and ecology, keep abreast of the latest management and policy issues, to learn about wild steelhead fishing opportunities, and to become educated about
wild steelheader News
The decades-long campaign Trout Unlimited and our Tribal and conservation partners have waged to restore the third most productive river for salmon and steelhead on the West Coast has taken a dramatic leap forward toward eventual dam removal.
Dozens of fish biologists across Oregon have released a letter in support of the River Democracy Act, urging Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley to pass the legislation this Congress.
People often refer to rivers of the Northwest as some of the last truly “wild” places in the Lower 48. The Clearwater River in Idaho is one of those places.
We steelheaders share a common vision of the future of wild steelhead and know what has to be done to bring them back. Together, we can make that vision a reality. With millions of dollars, countless staff and volunteer hours invested in restoring wild steelhead habitat, Trout Unlimited has launched the Wild Steelhead Initiative to make sure those investments (along with the efforts of countless other organizations) pay dividends.
